Summary: | The magnetic and electrical properties of the substituted La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xCoxO3 perovskite (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) were studied. Analysis of the average spin value obtained from inverse magnetic susceptibility using Curie–Weiss law for the samples suggested Co4+ ions were in the high spin state, whereas the spin state of Co3+ ions transformed from high spin to intermediate-spin state at x= 0.8. The metallic conduction behavior of the x = 0 and x = 1 samples was analyzed using the empirical equation ρt=ρ0+ρ2T2+ρ4.5T4.5, reflecting the importance of electron–magnon scattering effects similarly to other manganites. All the other samples displayed semiconductor-like behavior throughout the studied temperature range. The resistivity data in semiconducting La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xCoxO3 could be fitted to the model of variable range hopping, and both hopping distance and average hopping energy reduced with increasing doped Co concentration.
•Successful synthesis of high quality La0.7Sr0.3Mn1-xCoxO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) system using solid state reaction method.•The magnetic and electro-transport of system was systematically studied in the whole doping range.•The strong competition between the DE and SE interactions in Co/Mn ions gives rise to different spin states of Co3+ and Co4+ ions in the system.•The electrical transport is investigated using various models. |
