The orthorhombic PrNaMnO ceramic was prepared in polycrystalline form by a Pechini sol-gel method and its structural, magnetic, electrical and dielectric properties were investigated experimentally. A structural study confirms that the sample is single phase. Magnetic measurements show that the sample is a charge ordered manganite.

Based on the modified Arrott plot, Kouvel-Fisher, and critical isotherm analyses, we obtained the values of critical exponents (, , and ) as well as Curie temperature ( ) for the investigated compound. These components were consistent with their corresponding values and they were validated by the Widom scaling law and scaling theory.

These compounds are synthesized by a solid-state reaction route and indexed with respect to SrTiO-type perovskite with the 4/ space group. The substitution of La by 10% Eu enhances the value of magnetization and reduces the Curie temperature ( ).
