Abstract:

Ca-K codoped La0.64Ca0.25K0.11MnO3 nanocrystals with rhombohedral structure were synthesized in a molten KOH system at temperature as low as 500 ℃ in the atmosphere of Ar. The starting materials were MnO2, Ca(OH)2 and La(OH)3. Mn oxidation state and magnetic properties of La0.64Ca0.25K0.11MnO3 were discussed. XPS results demonstrate that there is a mixed valence of Mn in the nanocrystal. The zero-field-cooled(ZFC) curve indicates the samples undergo a paramagnetic(PM) to ferromagnetic(FM) phase transition and the Curie temperature(Tc) is 280 K.

Key words: Molten hydroxide, Mixed valence, Perovskite, Doped manganite
