Abstract

Magnetic and transport properties of (Pr1/3Sm2/3)2/3A1/3MnO3 (A = Ca, Sr and Ba) compounds, prepared by the citrate gel route, have been investigated. These compounds are found to crystallize in the orthorhombic structure. Charge ordering transport behavior is indicated only in Ca-substituted compound. The Sr- and Ba-substituted compounds show metal-insulator transition and semiconducting-like behavior, respectively. The magnetoresistance is highest in the Ba substituted compound. All the three samples show irreversibility in magnetization as a function of temperature in zero-field cooled (ZFC) and field cooled (FC) plots. The non-saturating magnetization, even at 5K and 4 Tesla field, are observed in Ca as well Ba-substituted compounds.
