We synthesized two novel nanoceramics—M₀.₅Ca₀.₂₅Mg₀.₂₅MnO₃ (M = La, Pr)—via the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction confirmed their orthorhombic Pnma crystal structure. Average particle sizes were 59.5 nm (PCMMO) and 21.8 nm (LCMMO) by Williamson–Hall, and 32.59 nm and 20.43 nm by Scherrer. SEM, TEM, UV-Vis, and FTIR confirmed chemical purity, uniformity, nanoscale morphology, and optical behavior. Band gaps measured 3.25 eV (LCMMO) and 3.71 eV (PCMMO), with Urbach energies of 0.29 eV and 0.26 eV. Magnetic analysis using VSM showed weak ferromagnetism, low coercivity (10–40 Oe), and superparamagnetic-like traits due to mixed Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ states, enhanced by Ca and Mg doping. These findings provide valuable insights into the structural, optical, and magnetic properties of LCMMO and PCMMO, highlighting their potential as multifunctional materials for advanced nanodevice applications. |
