Abstract
The investigation of structure and x-ray photoemission spectroscopic study on Nd0.5-xNaxSr0.5MnO3 with (x=0,0.05,0.10) polycrystalline samples have been performed. The bulk polycrystalline samples were prepared by flux-assisted solid-state reaction method. The samples are showing mixed phases of orthorhombic (Imma and Pnma) and Tetragonal (I4/mcm) structure at room temperature. The morphological properties are probed using field emission scanning electron microscopy. The grains are irregular and distribution of grain sizes showing a log-normal kind of distribution. The Fourier transform infrared spectra show three prominent absorption bands corresponds to MnO6 the octahedra. A systematic analysis of electronic structures and chemical properties was conducted using the X-ray photoemission spectroscopy technique. The oxygen non-stoichiometry and its influence on the relative proportion of Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ ions in all samples are assessed by examining the areas beneath the deconvoluted X-Ray Photoelectron Spectra (XPS) of the core level spectra.
对(x=0,0.05,0.10)多晶样品 Nd0.5-xNaxSr0.5MnO3 的结构和 x 射线光发射光谱进行了研究。块状多晶样品是通过助熔剂辅助固态反应法制备的。样品在室温下呈现出正交(Imma 和 Pnma)和四方(I4/mcm)结构的混合相。使用场发射扫描电子显微镜探测了样品的形态特性。晶粒不规则,粒度分布呈对数正态分布。傅立叶变换红外光谱显示出三个与八面体 MnO6 相对应的突出吸收带。利用 X 射线光发射光谱技术对电子结构和化学性质进行了系统分析。通过检查去卷积 X 射线光电子能谱(XPS)核心级光谱下方的区域,评估了所有样品中氧的非全度性及其对 Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ 离子相对比例的影响。
