Abstract:
The rare earths doped Ca0.95RE0.05MnO3 (RE=Pr, Eu, Tb) oxide bulk samples are prepared by combining Sol-gel method and ceramics fabrication method, the samples have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and electrical constants measuring apparatus. The results show that all the doped samples are of single phase with dense microstructure within the 5% doping content; the lattice is diminished for all doped samples; the un-doped CaMnO3 exhibits semiconductor behavior with moderately high electrical resistivity reaching 340 mΩ·cm at 373 K; the electrical resistivity for the doped samples is reduced with identical transportation mechanism, showing slightly enhanced resistivity value along with Pr, Eu and Tb; the energy needed for polaron carrier to hop is narrowed by doping; the praseodymium doped Ca0.95Pr0.05MnO3 sample is found possessing lowest electrical resistivity reaching 8 mΩ·cm at 373 K, which is far lower than that of the parent sample.
