✦ Synopsis
Orthorhombic perovskite-type Nd(Cr 1؊x Ni x )O 3 (0.04x40.6) was synthesized in a flow of pure oxygen gas. Magnetic measurement indicates that the 1/ -T curves of Nd(Cr 1؊x Ni x )O 3 are linear and have deflection points (+480 K) in the range 0.24 x40.6. Measurements of the electrical resistivity ( ) and the Seebeck coefficient ( ) indicate that Nd(Cr 1؊x Ni x )O 3 (0.04x4 0.4) is a p-type semiconductor, while Nd(Cr 0.4 Ni 0.6 )O 3 (x )6.0؍ is an n-type semiconductor. log -1000/T curves are linear and have the deflection points at +500 K (0.24x40.6). Calculation of the activation energy (E a ) indicates that E a (3004T4 500 K) is slightly lower than E a (5004T4900 K). From these results, it is obvious that the electrical properties are strongly affected by the spin state of the Ni 3؉ ion.

Perovskite-type Nd(Cr 1؊x Fe x )O 3 was synthesized in the range 0.04x41.0, and has the orthorhombic GdFeO 3 -type structure with space group Pnma. The increase of the (Cr, Fe)-O distance and the effective magnetic moment ( eff ) indicates that the Fe 3> ion is in the high-spin state with the (d ) 3
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)
We failed to prepare single crystal of BiMnO with starting material of 2Bi O #Mn O at ambient pressure according to Bokov et al. (see Ref. 21). This attempt resulted in Bi O and Bi O • 2Mn O with a trace amount of BiMnO .
