Self-construction of Magnetic Hollow La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 Microspheres with Complex Units
Perovskite structure La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 magnetic hollow microspheres with complex units were prepared via the hydrothermal route without hard and soft templates. The formation of hollow microspheres follows the self-construction mechanism involving oriented attachment, dissolution, and recrystallization processes. It exhibits a ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature.
