Abstract

Double perovskite compounds have the general formula A2B'B''O6; these materials have attracted a lot of interest due to their diverse structural, electrical, dielectric and magnetic properties. In this work, we have studied the effects of substitution of lanthanum by Pr at the A site on the electrical and magnetic properties of the compounds La2-xPrxNiMnO6 [x = 0, 0.1, 0.2]. The La2NiMn \({\mathrm{O}}_{6}\) compound belongs to the manganite family, which is defined as an important material for technological applications in various fields. Do** with praseodymium (Pr) in the A site changes the electrical, dielectric and magnetic properties of the compound. The samples were successfully synthesized by the sol–gel method. Structural investigation by RX diffraction shows that all compounds crystallize in the monoclinic system with space group P21/n at room temperature. Dielectric studies for all samples were measured by complex impedance spectroscopy in the temperature range 100–200 K and in the frequency range 100 Hz–1 MHz. Moreover, the substitution of lanthanum with praseodymium leads to a decrease in the dielectric constant and the modulus analysis shows the presence of the relaxation phenomenon in these materials. The electrical conductivity obeys the Arrhenius law for all samples. The activation energies obtained from the conductivity and modulus are different. The compound exhibits a magnetic transition and the Curie temperature (Tc) decreases with increasing Pr content.
