Abstract

Barium manganite nanofibers were synthesized using electrospinning technique. X-ray diffraction revealed the formation of single phase BaMnO3 nanofibers. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the formation of uniform composite and porous BaMnO3 nanofibers with an average diameter of ∼130nm and <100nm at 100°C and 600°C, respectively. Temperature dependent dc transport study of BMO-NFs device showed three distinct regions. The dominant conduction mechanism was space charge limited current with an exponential distribution of traps. The trap density was calculated to be 5.78×109cm−3 using the cross-over voltage. These results provide new paradigm for developing nanofibers devices that may ultimately contribute to nanotechnology.
