The effect of Gd doping in La1?x?yGdxSryMnO3 compound on nanocrystalline structure by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) technique
LGSM nanopowders were synthesized using thermal hydro-decomposition method. XRD and XAS were used to reveal the effect of doped-Gd in samples. A mixing of Mn3+/Mn4+ oxidation states were found in all samples. A locally structural distortion around Mn ions in samples was observed by EXAFS.
