Studies of the ionic ferromagnet (LaPb)MnO3 I. Growth and characteristics of single crystals

Abstract
Single crystals of La1−xPbxMnO3 with 0.25 < x < 0.45 have been grown by the flux technique. X-ray fluorescence, wet chemical, and electron microprobe analyses indicate the crystals are homogeneous and stoichiometric. The crystal structure was determined to be a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite with double cell edges.
