摘要
Self-doped manganites with nominal composition La0.6鈭?em>xSr0.4MnO3鈭?em>未 (0鈮?em>x鈮?.175) have been prepared by the sol-gel method. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and magnetic measurements indicate that the samples have two phases with the ABO3 perovskite structure being the dominant phase and Mn3O4 being the minor phase when the doping level x鈮?.05. On the basis of the thermal equilibrium theory of crystal defects, the contents of various ions in the perovskite phases were estimated, in which there are Mn2+ ions and no vacancies at A sites. The ion contents have been corrected by Rietveld fitting of the powder samples' X-ray diffraction data. The change tendency of the Curie temperature TC vs. the Mn4+ ion content ratio at the B sites of ABO3 perovskite phase is in accord with the experimental result of the samples La1鈭?em>xSrxMnO3.
