Defect Structure Of Y1-ycaymno3 And La1-ycaymno3. I. Electrical Properties

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient of compositions in the system Y 1-y Ca y MnO 3 and La 1-y Ca y MnO 3 were studied to determine the mechanism of electrical transport and defect structure. Electrical conduction appeared to occur via a small polaron hopping mechanism for compositions with 0.30 ≤ y ≤ 0.80. The Seebeck coefficient data did not support the assumption that Mn is present in Cadoped Mn perovskites only in the +3 and +4 valence states. A new defect model was developed which includes the thermally excited disproportion of Mn 3+ and Mn 4+ pairs. The Seebeck data were explained with this model by assuming that divalent Mn cations were site blockers in the conduction process. © 1993 Academic Press, Inc.
