“…From Equation (8), one can conclude that an increasing magnetization M (see Figure 2, curves 1 and 2, for Ag and Ba ion doping with compressive strain) is related to a decrease of the bandgap energy
in LMO NPs with increasing the dopant, see Figure 3, curves 1 and 2. A decrease of the bandgap energy
is observed experimentally by Ag and Ba ion doping of bulk LMO by Aify et al [
8 ] and Yu et al [
7 ] respectively. Unfortunately, experimental data for the decrease of the bandgap energy
in ion‐doped LMO NPs are still missing.…”
