We report the synthesis of CaMn0.9Mo0.1O3 manganite by glow discharge (GD) plasma treatment under Argon-Air atmosphere. The morphological, structural and magnetic properties were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetization measures. The results from these measures reveal that the properties of GD synthesized manganite are similar to that exhibited by CaMn0.9Mo0.1O3 produced by conventional resistive furnace. The Rietveld analysis of XRD patterns performed at room temperature show that the samples crystallize in orthorhombic structure of Pnma (62) space group. The magnetization curves as a functionof temperature show two inflection points related to paramagnetic-antiferromagnetic and structural transition. The GD treatment produces a compound with similar properties, reducing the time and energy consumption in comparison with conventional synthesis route by using resistive furnace.
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.
