Abstract

Pr_0.57Ca_0.43MnO₃ nanoparticles with an average particle size of ∼20 nm have been synthesized using hydrothermal method in combination with post-annealing, and characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometery. The results show that the hydrothermal synthesis of Pr_1-xCa_xMnO₃ compound below 240 °C is difficult. The Pr_0.57Ca_0.43MnO₃ nanoparticles obtained by annealing the hydrothermal products at 900 °C for 2 h present an orthorhombic perovskite structure with the same lattice as bulk Pr_0.6Sr_0.4MnO₃. Magnetic characterization reveals that the low-temperature antiferromagnetic and charge ordering transitions identified in bulk Pr_0.57Ca_0.43MnO₃ are completely suppressed in the nanoparticles, while a ferromagnetic transition occurs at ∼110 K. The spin-freezing behavior at low temperature for the Pr_0.57Ca_0.43MnO₃ nanoparticles is demonstrated.
