✦ Synopsis
Orthorhombic perovskite-type (La 0.1 Ca 0.9 )(Mn 1؊x Ge x )O 3 was synthesized in the range (0.004 4x4 40.10). Since the ionic radius of the Ge 4؉ ion is equal to that of the Mn 4؉ ion, the (Mn, Ge)-O(1, 2) distances and the angles for (Mn, Ge)-O(1, 2)-(Mn, Ge) are independent of the composition (x). From the measurement of the electrical resistivity ( ), all manganates exhibit a metal-insulator transition. With increasing x, the metal-insulator transition temperature (T t ) increases and d /dT decreases. The cation-anion-cation overlap integrals are weakened by the Ge 4؉ ion.
