Crystalline structure and electrical properties of solid solutions YNi<sub>x</sub>Mn<sub>1-x</sub>O<sub>3</sub>

Solid solutions belonging to the Mn-rich region of the YNiXMn1-XO3 system have been studied. The powders were prepared by solid state reaction between the corresponding oxides. Sintered ceramics were obtained by firing at 1325-1350ºC. The incorporation of 20 atomic % Ni2+ to the Yttrium manganite in...
