The La0.7M0.3MnO3 (M=Ca, Sr) were synthesized by combining sol-gel technique and solid state sintering method. The evolutions of phase structure and micro-morphologies of the La0.7M0.3MnO3 with final sintering temperature (950-1250°C) were investigated. The results show that the La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 compounds exhibit single perovskite phase with cubic structure and the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 compounds exhibit single perovskite phase with rhombohedra structure. The final sintering temperature has no obvious effect on the phase structure of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3. However, the density and grain size of La0.7M0.3MnO3 (M=Ca, Sr) increase with the increase of the final sintering temperature. Moreover, the micro-morphologies of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 are more sensitive to final sintering temperature compared with that of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3. When sintering temperature is no less than 1150°C, the La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 has hardly any pore. After sintering at no less than 1250°C, the La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 becomes dense.
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.
