Abstract

$La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}MnO_3$ colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) powders and pellets were synthesized by sol-gel process. The structural changes were investigated by FT-IR, CP/MAS $^{13}C$ solid state NMR spectroscopy and XRD. The particle characterization, microstructure of sintered samples, and cation composition of gel powders were studied by FE-SEM/EDS, TEM and ICP-AES. The structure refinement reveals that $La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}MnO_3$ has orthorhombic, perovskite type unit cell. The magnetic characterizations were identified through measurement of magnetic moment by VSM.

초거대 자기 저항 물질인 $La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}MnO_3$의 분말과 pellet을 졸-겔 법으로 제조하였다. 열처리 온도를 변화시켜 얻은 시료에 대해 FT-IR과 CP/MAS $^{13}C$ solid state NMR spectroscopy 그리고 XRD 등을 이용해 구조변화를 관찰하였다. 양이온 조성 비율을 알아보기 위해 ICP-AES를 이용하였으며, 입자크기와 균일도를 FE-SEM/EDS로, 미세구조와 격자 패턴은 TEM으로 관찰하였다. VSM을 이용하여 자기적 특성을 살펴보았으며 큐리온도($T_c$)는 236 K에서 측정되었다.
