Abstract
The effects of the vacancy at the B sites on the structural and magnetic properties of perovskite manganites with a nominal composition La0.75Sr0.25Mn1−xO3 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.13), prepared by the sol-gel method, were investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that there is a ABO3 perovskite structure single phase in the samples with x ≤ 0.08; however, there are second and third phases containing La, except ABO3 perovskite phase, in the samples with x ≥ 0.10. Magnetic measurement indicates that the sample with x = 0.08 has the lowest Curie temperature. By a quantitative phase analysis, we believe that there is a maximum value of vacancy content at the B sites in ABO3 perovskite manganites.
