摘 要:Polycrystalline Nd0.75Na0.25Mn1-xCrxO3(0≤x≤0.1) samples were prepared by sol-gel method and their magnetic and electrical transport properties were investigated experimentally.The parent compound with x=0 was a charge ordered manganite and the charge ordering transition occurred at 170 K.For lower Cr concentration(x<0.03),the samples preserved the charge ordering features of the parent compound,but the charge ordering transition temperature decreased with increasing x,in particular from 170 K for x=0 to 154 K for x=0.02.For the x≥0.03 samples,paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition took place and the Curie temperature increased from 112.8 K for x=0.04 to 125.5 K for x=0.1.The electrical transport properties were also influenced by Cr doping.For x<0.03,the samples displayed insulator characteristics below 300 K.For x=0.04,the sample showed insulator-metal transition around 75 K.For x≥0.05,the insulator-metal transition disappeared and the compounds showed insulator features again.The magnetic and electrical properties could be well explained by the phase separation scenario.
