Abstract
Magnetic field dependent resistivity (ρ) and Seebeck coefficient (S) of La1-xPbxMnO3 (x=0.0-0.5), prepared by sol-gel method, have been reported. One set (LaMnO3+δ) sample, termed as LCON, was found to show insulator (semiconductor) to metal transition (MIT) around Tp∼265 K and the other set (LaMnO3), termed as LSEM, did not show such transition. Tp shifts to the lower temperature under magnetic field. It has been shown, for the first time, that both in presence or in absence of magnetic field, two different transport mechanisms (adiabatic and non-adiabatic) are followed, respectively, by LSEM and LCON (for T>Tp). Like resistivity, S of the sample was also found to depend on the applied magnetic field particularly around Tp. The samples showing no MIT indicated larger Debye temperatures and electron-phonon interaction constants (γp) than those of the sample showing MIT. Both ρ and S of La1-xPbxMnO3 (x=0.0-0.5) behave similarly to those of LCON.
