Abstract

Polycrystalline sample of single-phase La0.8Sm0.05K0.15MnO3 perovskite compound have been synthesized by solid-state reaction route. X-ray diffraction patterns accompanied by Rietveld–refined crystal structure parameters reveal the rhombohedral structure with space group R 3C. Electrical resistivity infers transition from metallic to insulator phase at 537 K. The application of magnetic field of 8 T, suppresses the resistivity. The metallic resistivity is retraced by considering electron–phonon, electron–electron and electron-spin-fluctuation interactions while insulating behaviour is analysed with small polaron conduction model.
