Structures and properties of MgMnTMO (TM = Co, Ni, and Cu) nanoparticles synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion technique.

The room temperature structural, optical and dielectric properties of MgMnO and MgMnTMO (TM = Co, Ni, and Cu) nanoparticles are reported. All transition metal nanocrystalline samples were successfully prepared by sol-gel auto combustion method. X-ray powder diffraction patterns at room temperature confirmed the formation of single-phase cubic structure with an 3̄ space group for all prepared samples.

Structural, thermal, and transport properties of LaSrMnO nanoparticles synthesized the sol-gel auto-combustion technique.

Herein, rare-earth manganite, LaSrMnO, has been prepared by a citric acid-assisted sol-gel auto-combustion method at a maintained pH value of 11. Room-temperature X-ray diffraction (RT-XRD) data analysis revealed a rhombohedral structure for the sample with the space group 3, which was further confirmed by synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD). Rietveld refinement was carried out for both spectra, which confirmed the SR-XRD and RT-XRD results and the various structural parameters.

Effect of electron/hole doping on the transport properties of lanthanum manganites LaMnO(3).

We report the results of electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and thermoelectric power measurements on the stoichiometric hole-doped La(0.8)Ca(0.2)MnO(3) and electron-doped La(0.

The effect of Al/Si ratio on the transport properties of the layered intermetallic compound CaAl(2)Si(2).

We report the results of the electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient as well as thermal conductivity measurements on the stoichiometric CaAl(2)Si(2) and non-stoichiometric CaAl(1.75)Si(2.25), CaAl(1.
