Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of La 1-x Pb x MnO 3 (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) compounds were recorded at different temperatures. Asymmetrical and distored resonance signals due to ferromagnetic correlations at temperatures T < T min became Lorentzian at T > T min , where T min is the temperature corresponding to the narrowest ESR linewidth. The ESR linewidth with respect to temperature, ∆H(T ), for the samples was fitted to the one-phonon process, ∆H(T ) = A + BT. We found that B decreased from 5.45 Oe/K for x = 0.1 to 4.61 Oe/K for x = 0.5, indicating the decrease of lattice distortions with the Pb addition. The temperature dependence of the ESR intensity, I(T ), for the samples was described well to an expression of I(T ) = I 0 exp (E a /k B T ). In the high-temperature region, 1/I(T ) obeyed the Curie -Weiss law.
