Abstract

New complex oxide Sr0.75-xCaxY0.25Co0.25Mn0.75O3-δ with a perovskite-like structure has been synthesized and characterized. DC and AC transport properties of ceramic samples have been studied in the temperature range 4.2K – 1173K. DC conductivity data at T > 300K are discussed in terms of the small polaron hopping model. Dependence of the polaron activation energy on the calcium content is found to correlate with the change of structural distortion parameters. Both the temperature dependence of DC conductivity and the frequency dependence of the real part of the admittance reveal hopping transport at low temperatures.
