Lanthanum manganite with cation vacancies from nominal La（0.75）Sr（0.25）Mn（0.92）△（0.08）O（3-δ） nanocrystalline powder was successfully prepared at different calcination temperatures using the sol-gel method....Lanthanum manganite with cation vacancies from nominal La（0.75）Sr（0.25）Mn（0.92）△（0.08）O（3-δ） nanocrystalline powder was successfully prepared at different calcination temperatures using the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction shows that as the calcination temperature（T（Cal）） increases, the crystal particle diameter increases, but the B-site vacancy content decreases. According to a powder diffraction profile fitting technique and transmission electron microscopy results, the vacancy content can be estimated as 0.08,0.01, and 0.005 for T（Cal） = 1073,1273, and 1473 K, respectively. Magnetization versus temperature curves show that the magnetic transition temperatures, including the Curie temperature, are influenced by both B-site vacancies and double-exchange interaction between Mn^（3＋） and Mn^（4＋） cations. A core-shell model is proposed for vacancies located on the surfaces of the crystal particles. As an application, the magnetic moment angle θ（ij） between Mn^（3＋） and Mn^（4＋） cations on the surface, which decreases with decreasing vacancy content, can be obtained.展开更多
