The substitution of trivalent (M = In, Ga) and tetravalent elements (M = Sn, Ti) for Mn(III) and Mn(IV) respectively has been studied in the colossal magnetoresistant (CMR) perovskites Pr0.7Ca0.2Sr0.1MnO3(type I) and Pr0.5Sr0.5MnO3(type II). For the former compound, whatever the element, the temperature transition (Tmaxor Tc) separating the ferromagnetic metallic (FM) state and the paramagnetic semiconductinc (PSC) state decreases dramatically when the substituted element content is increased, the saturated magnetic moment at low temperature being slightly decreased. For these type I perovskites the maximum magnetoresistance is achieved for Pr0.7Ca0.2Sr0.1Mn0.99Ga0.01O3, reaching a resistance ratio of 600 at 127 K against 275 at 151 K for the pristine sample. These results show that by decreasing or increasing the hole concentration via M(IV) or M(III) substitutions on the manganese site the Curie temperature Tcis always decreased. In contrast to the type I perovskites, two different effects are evidenced for the Pr0.5Sr0.5Mn1-xMxO3substituted type II phases depending on the M valence. On one hand for M = Ga, In when x increases the antiferromagnetic semiconducting (AFSC) state and the PSC state are favoured at the expense of ferromagnetism. On the other hand for M = Sn, Ti the low temperature AFSC state tends to disappear and for x > 0.04 only a FM to PSC transition still exits similarly to that observed in type I perovskites. Correspondingly the magnetization versus temperature curves evolve from the bell shape curve typical of the charge ordering state to that of a ferromagnetic compound. The effect of valence and d0, d10electronic configurations in both type I an II CMR perovskites is discussed.
