“…However, out of the two, the last is more appropriate as it directly affects the mechanism happening among different MnO 6 octahedra. In this regard, several authors have substituted different transition metal ions like Fe +3 , Al +3 , Ga +3 , Zn +2 , Cu +3 , Ni +2 at the Mn-site and have shown that Mn-site substitution severely affects the conduction mechanism as well as the magnetic properties [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] . However, fewer results exist for higher valent ion substitution at Mn-site to see its effect on the transport properties [29][30][31][32][33] .…”
