Study of La_(0.9)Sr_(0.1)MnO_3Manganite at Different Temperature

摘要

In this paper, the effect of sintering temperature on the structural properties of Sr doped lanthanum manganites is studied. The Sr doped manganites are synthesized using solid state reaction method. The structural properties of the sintered powders are examined by X-ray diffraction. The La_(0.9)Sr_(0.1)MnO_3 powder samples exhibit a dominant peak along with increased peak intensity corresponding to the (104), (202), (204) reflections and some new peaks also appeared along (116),(036) and (0210) reflections compared to first sintering temperature (1250°C). This confirms a more polycrystalline nature of the powder at higher sintering temperature. The crystallite size varies between 45 nm to 50 nm. For relative study, the calculated average crystallite size and lattice parameters are noted in tabulated form.
