Abstract

The effect of temperature and time of sintering on microstructure, density and resistivity of manganite-lanthanum ceramics of La0.7Mn1.3O3±? and (La0.65Sr0.35)0.8Mn1.2O3±? composition was studied. Sintering of nanocrystalline manganite compacts of average crystallite size from 5 to 200 nm has shown that the crystalliту size of 30 nm is optimal for high-density ceramics. It was found that the duration of treatment is more conducive to the sintering process than grain growth.
