Abstract

This paper reports on the sonochemical-assisted synthesis of La 0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) nanoparticles (NPs) which have a single-crystalline perovskite structure. The average particle size of LSMO NPs was controlled from about 40 to 120 nm by changing the annealing temperatures from 750 to 1050°C. The particle size, electrical resistivity, and ferromagnetic transition temperature of LSMO NPs were strongly dependent on the annealing temperature. A substantial decrease in resistivity and an enhancement in the insulator-metal transition temperature were found on increasing the annealing temperature. Furthermore, the enhancement in magnetization and paramagnetic-ferromagnetic (PM-FM) transition temperatures was observed as the annealing temperature increases.
