Bulk and surface structure characterization of nanoscopic silver doped lanthanum chromites

► Single step synthesis approach with site preference of silver as a dopant. ► Silver as a crystal dopant with precursors of chromium (nitrate and acetate). ► Valence states of La, Cr, O and silver as a dopant in a perovskite lattice. ► Atomic ratio of constituent elements in bulk as well as surface regime of samples.
