Suppression of charge ordering phenomenon in nanocrystalline Nd0.67Ca0.33MnO3 manganite

A systematic investigation of electrical, magnetic and elastic properties was undertaken in nano and microcrystalline Nd0.67Ca0.33MnO3 manganite, mainly to understand the charge ordering phenomenon. There is a clear and distinct behaviour in the electrical and magnetic properties of nano and microcrystalline samples and the observed behaviour is explained.
