Popis: | The temperature dependence of resistivity ρ of YSZ doping composite of (1-x)La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 + xYSZ and Y2O3 doping composite of (1-y)La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 + yY2O3 is investigated, respectively, in a temperature range 77-300 K, where the YSZ represents yttria-stabilized zirconia (8 mol%Y2O3+92 mol% ZrO2). Experimental results show that the YSZ doping level has important effects on both the metal-insulator (M-I) transition temperatures and zero field resistivity of the composites of (1-x)La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 + xYSZ. However, the Y2O3 doping level has little effect on the M-I transition temperatures and the zero field resistivity of (1-y)La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 + yY2O3 only increases slightly. The difference between the two types of composites may mainly result from the different distribution of high resistance phases at the grain boundaries and/or surfaces of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 grains rather than the substitution of La3+ ions with Y3+ ions. |
