Abstract : In the manganite La1-xMxMnO3 (M = Ca, Ba, Sr) the doping concentration introduces a mixed valency (Mn3+, Mn4+) which governs the magnetic and electrical properties of the compound. The perovskite oxides La1-3xCaxBaxSrxMnO3 (x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.10) were prepared by chemical method. Single-phase formation is confirmed by XRD studies. The electrical behavior of compositions with x = 0.00, 0.05 and 0.10 in the system La1-3xCaxBaxSrxMnO3 was studied in the temperature range 300-420 K. It is observed that conductivity decreases with increasing temperature as well as dopants concentration. Metallic behavior of these compositions decreases with increasing dopants concentration (x). The microstructures of these samples have been characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). (© 2007 WILEY -VCH Verlag GmbH amp; Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
