Abstract

The ball milling route has been used to produce the La0.67Sr0.33Mn0.85Fe0.15O3 (LSMFO) nanocrystalline sample from oxide precursors. The sample was characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD), a scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric (TGA) measurements. The x-ray diffraction confirms the phase purity of sample and shows that the sample crystallizes in the rhombohedral perovskite structure with a R-3c space group. The scanning electron micrograph shows the presence of well-faceted crystallites of LSMFO. The EDAX spectrum demonstrates the molar ratio of different elements of nanocrystalline LSMFO. Furthermore, the crystallite size using the Debye–Scherrer formula and William-Hall analysis has been found as 24 nm and 29 nm, respectively. Our results support the idea that a good quality nanocrystalline LSMFO sample can be obtained using the ball milling route. We also discuss the DSC and TGA curves and analyse the results in terms of phase transition, calcination temperature and activation barrier energies.
