Synthesis and electrical properties of new perovskite-like AMn3V4O12 (A = Ca, Ce, and Sm) compounds

详细

AMn₃V₄O₁₂ (A = Ca, Ce, and Sm) compounds with a perovskite structure are synthesized at high pressures and temperatures. The crystalline structure of these compounds (space group \(Im\bar 3\)Z = 2) is determined via X-ray analysis. If ions in the A sublattice are changed in the order Ca²⁺–Sm³⁺–Ce³⁺, the valence is redistributed from Ca²⁺Mn₃²⁺V₄⁴⁺O₁₂ to Sm³⁺Mn₃²⁺V₄^3.75+O₁₂, and to Ce³⁺Mn₃²⁺V₄^3.75+O₁₂. The temperature dependences of the electrical resistivity are studied.
