D. Wang et al., HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS OF A GIANT MAGNETO RESISTANCE MATERIAL LA0.5BA0.5MNO3 UNDER MILD CONDITIONS, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 19(2), 1998, pp. 165-168
A giant magnetoresistance material La0.5Ba0.5MnO3 was prepared by hydr
othermal method at 240 degrees C for 24 hours, The product was charact
erized by X-ray powder diffraction, differential thermal analysis-ther
mogravimetric analysis, chemical analysis, and iodometry, The compound
crystallizes in a cubic system with cell parameters a = 0. 391 3 nm a
nd V = 0. 059 90 nm(3), The average valence state of manganese was 3.
5, and the magnetoresistance (MR) is about 29% at 1 T.
