A new route to synthesize nanosized crystalline of (La 0.67-X Gd X )Sr 0.33 MnO 3 (X=0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) perovskite-type complex oxides at calcination temperature of 600-1000 °C using the amorphous molecular alloy as precursors was reported. The precursor could be completely decomposed into complex oxide at temperature below 500 °C according to the TGA and DTA results. XRD demonstrates that the decomposed species is composed of perovskite-type structure at calcination temperature of 600 °C for 2 h. The particle size that depends on the calcination temperature of the precursor is in a range of 30-120 nm as determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This method is effective and can be easily quantitatively controlled to synthesize nanosized perovskite-type complex oxides. The magnetic properties of (La 0.67-X Gd X )Sr 0.33 MnO 3 nanocrystalline were preliminary studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
