X-ray absorption spectroscopy and photoemission study of Bi-doped LaMnO₃

Novel synthetic approach to the preparation of single-phase BixLa1−xMnO3+δ solid solutions

“…However, the substitution of Bi 3+ by La 3+ ions can lead to smaller distortions and lower synthesis temperatures during the preparation of Bi-rich Bi x La 1−x MnO 3 solid solutions [22]. Quite a few articles have been reported regarding the Bi x La 1−x MnO 3 system prepared by solid state reaction [23][24][25][26][27] or by pulsed laser deposition [28]. The maximum substitution level of 0.65 at ambient conditions was observed [25].…”

“…However, the transition from orthorhombic to cubic structure when x = 0.3 [23] or from rhombohedral to trigonal structure for x = 0.4 [25] were also reported. Besides, different magnetic and transport properties of Bi x La 1−x MnO 3 solid solutions with different amount of Bi 3+ ions were determined as well [23][24][25][26][27].…”
