Abstract Polycrystalline La 0.85 Sr 0.15 MnO 3: Ag x (LSMO: Ag x, 0≤ x≤ 0.5) ceramics were synthesized using sol-gel procedure. All specimens showed rhombohedral perovskite structures in R 3‾ c space group. As the amount of Ag increased, grain size of ceramics increased, and resistivity accordingly decreased. Large temperature coefficient of resistivity (TCR) of 22.9% K− 1 was obtained at room temperature (289.2 K) for x= 0.4. Interestingly, analyses of resistivity-temperature (ρ-T) experimental data showed that conduction mechanism over entire temperature region perfectly matched theoretical percolation model. This reveals that electrical transport properties of LSMO: Ag x ceramics are mainly affected by domains, grain boundaries (GBs), and Kondo-like spin-dependent scattering. It also demonstrates the coexistence of paramagnetic (FM) and ferromagnetic (PM) phases in LSMO: Ag x ceramics. The ρ-T and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results confirmed that the introduction of Ag weakened these scattering effects.
