Abstract

The structural parameters of La1 – xSrxMnO3 ± γ solid solutions sintered at different temperatures are refined using chemical analysis, x-ray fluorescence, and Rietveld profile analysis data. The samples are shown to consist of two rhombohedrally distorted perovskite phases (sp. gr. R\(\overline 3 \)c and R3m) identical in chemical composition and containing excess oxygen. The electrical properties and magnetoresistive response of the Sr-doped lanthanum manganite ceramics depend on the relative amounts of these phases. The origin of structural disordering in the materials studied is discussed.
