Abstract
In contrast to 6H-SrMnO3 which is usually synthesized using a high-pressure and high-temperature technique, SrMn1−xVxO3 oxides can be prepared via a solution combustion synthesis route with final annealing in air. Doping of SrMnO3 with vanadium allows the formation of the SrMn1−xVxO3 oxide (x = 0.02) which crystallizes in a six-layer hexagonal structure (space group P63/mmc, Z = 6). The specific electrical conductivity (σ) and Seebeck coefficient (S) are measured in the temperature (Т) range 350–1220 K in air. The metallic-like change in S with T is explained employing the model of the motion of small polarons considering the disproportionation of Mn3+ ions to Mn2+ and Mn4+ and the spin direction of t2g-electrons manganese. The enthalpy of disproportionation reaction (130 meV) in 6H-SrMn0.98V0.02O3–δ is higher than in other perovskite-type manganites.
