摘要
The crystal chemistry of perovskite structured ceramic phases: La0.9Gd0.1MnO3 (LMGd-1); La0.8Gd0.2MnO3 (LMGd-2) and La0.7Gd0.3MnO3 (LMGd-3) have been investigated using General Structure Analysis System (GSAS) programming. The LMGd phases crystallize in the space group R-3c and Z = 6. Powder diffraction data have been subjected to Rietveld refinement to arrive at a satisfactory structural convergence of Rietveld parameters: R-p, R-wp and goodness of fit. Lattice parameters, bond lengths and bond angles have been calculated from GSAS software. Their electrical behaviour investigated by impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range 42 Hz-5 MHz at temperatures between 50 and 300 degrees C. Nyquist plots show the dominance of grain contribution and Debye-like relaxation in the materials. Conductivity data as a function of temperature and frequency suggest semiconductor behavior of the materials. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
