Studies on morphological and magnetic properties of La1−xSrxMnO3

► LSMO have been synthesized by simple combustion technique. ► Structural analysis confirms the formation of rhombohedral crystal structure of LSMO. ► Nanocrystalline nature confirmed by transmission electron microscopy. ► The slight increases in Tc were observed for samples studied in this work in the range 275-285 K.
