Abstract Polycrystalline Sr− doped La 1-y (Ca y-x Sr x) MnO 3 (LCSMO, y= 3/8) ceramics with x= 0, y/25, 2y/25, 3y/25, 4y/25, y/3, y/2, and 2y/3 were prepared by sol− gel methods. X-ray diffraction patterns results indicated that all the bulk samples were single phase without any impurities. The structure of the samples transformed from orthorhombic phase (space group of Pnma) to rhombohedral phase (space group of R 3 ̅ c) when the Sr content (x) was equal to or greater than y/2. With the increasing of x content, the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and magnetic resistance (MR) decreased gradually. However, the metal to insulator transition temperature (T p) and the MR reached at 300.4 K and 12% at 300 K for the LCSMO (x= 4y/25) sample, respectively, which meant the LCSMO material could be used as a candidate for photoelectric (uncooled bolometer or infrared detectors, etc.) or magnetic devices (uncooled magnetic sensors, etc.) at room temperature. Visibly, the results indicated that the room temperature modulation of T p and MR was observed when the site of the Ca 2+ ion was substituted by the Sr 2+ ion in LCSMO (y= 3/8) polycrystalline ceramics. This gave rise to the increasing size of the A− site average cationic radius< r A> and improving of the Mn 4+ ion concentration through double exchange between the Mn 3+ and Mn 4+ ions, leading to enhance the electrical and magnetic properties of LCSMO ceramics.
