Perovskite manganite La 0.7 Ba 0.3 MnO 3 , synthesized by ionic coordination reaction method (ICR) was compacted into pellets under different compaction pressures (P c ) and sintered at a temperature of 1150°C for 10h under a flow of O 2 . X-ray diffraction (XRD) data reveal that the samples can present simultaneously two phases -a rhombohedral structure with space group R3c and an orthorhombic structure with space group Pnma. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images show that, for this sintering temperature, the particle size and shape can be modified depending on the compaction pressure (P c ). Magnetization measurements show that the saturation magnetization and Curie temperature increase with P c . The enhancement of the ferromagnetic properties of perovskite manganites La 0.7 Ba 0.3 MnO 3 as a function of the compaction pressure is explained by an increase in the rhombohedral/orthorhombic structure ratio caused by this effect.
Recent studies reported in the literature have shown that nanocrystalline manganites may have the effect of giant magnetoimpedance (GMI). The GMI effect was observed in the region reaching the radiofrequency values of up to 70% at room temperature in less than 1 kOe magnetic field. Due to these characteristics, manganite may be applied to the development of magnetic sensors. In this work, we present a study of magnetic materials with nanometric manganites La 0.7 Ba 0.3-x Sr x MnO 3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3) varying the concentration of Ba and Sr. In the chemical synthesis process, we use the technique of reaction by ion coordination, setting the corresponding stoichiometric proportions of each compound. The samples were compacted in tablet form and synthesized to 1150 0 C for 10 h in an atmosphere of O 2. Analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed the formation of a polycrystalline phase with pure orthorhombic perovskite structure and space group Pbnm: cab. Through Rietveld refinements of X-ray powder diffraction patterns of samples, we obtained average particle diameters around 100 nm. Magnetic measurements as a function of temperature with Zero-Field-Cooling (ZFC) and Field-Cooling (FC) were made using a vibrating sample magnetometer. Magnetic hysteresis cycles at room temperature showed that the samples have: low coercivity and saturation magnetization to the maximum around 73 emu/g for Sample La 0.7 Ba 0.3 MnO 3. Scanning electronic microscopy images (SEM) of the La 0.7 Ba 0.3 MnO 3 pellet detailing the size and shape of the particles is influenced by different pressures applied on the material in the compaction. Electrical impedance measurements as a function of frequency and magnetic field will also be presented.
