Abstract
La0.67Ba0.33MnO3 powders were successfully prepared by a standard solid state reaction method, and systematically investigated the influence of the sintering temperature on the structural, microstructure, composition properties. The XRD pattern showed that the as prepared LBMO material was in single-phase with rhombohedral structure. From the scanning electron micrographs, it was observed that the grain size increased with sintering temperature and the average grain size was ~40nm.The surface roughness was measured by atomic force microscope and the RMS roughness of samples was in the range 48 to 85 nm. The as prepared samples exhibited nearly the same composition of the base material.
