The perovskite oxides La1-xBaxCoO3 (x=0.00, 0.10, 0.20) have been synthesiz
ed at low temperature using the chemical route. The single phase formation
of the prepared samples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. The ele
ctrical conductivity of the doped samples showed little variation in compar
ison to undoped LaCoO3. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science BN. All rights reserved.
