Abstract
LiMn 2− x Ti x O 4 compounds with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 were prepared by solid state reaction and Pechini technique. Powder X-ray diffraction showed that all samples crystallize with the spinel crystal structure (S.G. Fd3¯m). The cubic unit-cell parameter increases with the Ti content. The influence of the Ti content and cationic distribution on the magnetic properties of the compounds was studied by measuring the temperature and magnetic field dependences of the magnetization: substitution by non-magnetic d 0 Ti 4+ ions appeared to weaken the magnetic interactions between the manganese ions. The electrical properties of LiMnTiO 4 were studied by AC impedance spectroscopy and DC polarisation measurements, which revealed the electronic character of the conduction process.
