In this work, we present results of synthesis, electric and structural characterization of Ruddlesden- Popper Lan+1Nin-xZnxO3n+1(n =1, 0<x<0.4) compounds. The samples were synthesized by combustion reaction method by using citric acid as fuel. The precursors obtained from this reaction were treated for 12 hours at 1100 °C in air. The polycrystalline samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electric resistivity. The XRD results indicate that samples were obtained with single phase in the orthorhombic symmetry and space group I4/mmm. The preliminary results suggest that the Zn-doping plays an important role on the charge transport and modifies the manner that the holes are arranged in the system.
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.
