The structural, magnetic, and electric properties of Dy1−xSrxCoO3−δ perovskite have been investigated systematically over the range of doping, 0.65≤x≤0.90. The Rietveld refinements of x-ray powder diffraction patterns at room temperature indicate that the samples with 0.65≤x≤0.75 show a tetragonal structure with I4/mmm group symmetry, while the compounds with 0.80≤x≤0.90 are cubic with pm3m group symmetry. Zero field-cooled magnetization, M(T), of 0.65≤x≤0.85 samples reveals a cusp at around room temperature. For all samples, M(T) increases rapidly below 50 K due to the paramagnetism of Dy sublattice. The inverse magnetic susceptibility, χ−1(T), was described by using Curie–Weiss law. The resistivity (ρ) data can be explained according to a three-dimensional variable range hopping model in a certain temperature range. The density of states at the vicinity of Fermi level is roughly estimated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
