The charge structures of (LSMO) and of the combined system $(La_{ 0.6}Sr_{0.4}FeO_3$(LSMO) and of the combined system (La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}MnO_3)_{0.7}(La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}/FeO_3)_{0.3}$are investigated by using M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy. The antiferromagnetically ordered $(La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}FeO_3$(LSFO) has possible charges of Fe^{3+} and Fe^{4+}$, which include a low-spin $Fe^{4+}$ state at and above 230 K. The temperature dependences of the M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra for the $(La_{ 0.6}Sr_{0.4}FeO_3$ system and for the combined $(LSMO)_{ 0.7}(LSFO)_{0.3}$ system are fitted as three sets of Zeeman patterns corresponding to $Fe^{3+}$ and $Fe^{4+} below 230 K. At and above 230 K, the fitted M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra for the combined system are the same in all temperature ranges. Above 230 K, $(La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}FeO_3$ spectrum consists of two sets of six Lorentzians for $Fe^{3+}$ and one line for low spin $Fe^{4+}$. It is worth noting that large fields are induced in the combined system.

Li-air batteries have received much attention due to their superior theoretical energy density. However, their sluggish kinetics on the cathode side is considered the main barrier to high performance. The rational design of electrode catalysts with high activity is therefore an important challenge. To solve this issue, we performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations to analyze the adsorption behavior of the $LiO_2$ molecule, which is considered to be a key intermediate in both the Li-oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the evolution reaction (OER). Specifically, to use the activity descriptor approach, the $LiO_2$ adsorption energy, which has previously been demonstrated to be a reliable descriptor of the cathode reaction in Li-air batteries, was calculated on $LaB_{1-x}B^{\prime}_xO_3$(001) (B, B' = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni, x = 0.0, 0.5). Our fast screening results showed that $LaMnO_3$, $LaMn_{0.5}Fe_{0.5}O_3$, or $LaFeO_3$ would be good candidate catalysts. We believe that our results will provide a way to more efficiently develop new cathode materials for Li-air batteries.

(La_0.5Nd_0.2Sr_0.3)MnO₃ specimens were prepared by a solid-state reaction. In all specimens, X-ray diffraction patterns of an orthorhombic structure were shown. The fracture surfaces of (La_0.5Nd_0.2Sr_0.3)MnO₃ specimens showed a transgranular fracture pattern be possibly due to La ions (0.122 nm) as a perovskite A-site dopant substituting for Nd ions (0.115 nm) having a small ionic radius. The full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of the Mn 2p XPS spectra showed a value greater than that [8] of the single valence state, which is believed to be due to the overlapping of Mn²⁺, Mn³⁺, and Mn⁴⁺ ions. The dependence of Mn 2p spectra on the Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ ratio according to sintering time was not observed. Electrical resistivity resulted in the minimum value of 100.7 Ω-cm for the specimen sintered for 9 hours. All specimens show a typical negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) characteristics. In the 9-hour sintered specimen, TCR, activation energy, and B25/65-value were -1.24%/℃, 0.19 eV, and 2,445 K, respectively.

Herein, a correlation between B-site cation order and spin-phonon coupling in La₂NiMnO₆ double perovskite has been investigated. Raman spectra of La₂NiMnO₆ double perovskite annealed at 950 and 1400℃ have been measured in the 140-598 K range. A substantial softening of the phonon modes has been observed below the Curie temperature, which emphasized the presence of the spin-phonon coupling in the system. The spin-phonon coupling was found to be stronger in relatively more ordered La₂NiMnO₆ double perovskite. Thus, the magnitude of spin-phonon coupling was influenced by the Ni/Mn cation order.

The magnetocaloric effect and magnetization behaviors have been studied for $La_{1-x}Pb_{x}MnO_3$ (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3) alloys. The Curie temperature increased from 195 K to 352 K with increasing Pb concentration. A large magnetic entropy change (${\Delta}S_M$), which is calculated from H vs M curves associated with the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transitions, has been observed. The maximum ${\Delta}S_M$ of $La_{0.8}Pb_{0.2}MnO_3$ was 1.22 J/kg K at 294 K for an applied field of 1.5 T. Adiabatic temperature change (${\Delta}T_ad$) was measured directly by a special cryostat. The maximum ${\Delta}T_ad$ of $La_{0.7}Pb_{0.3}MnO_3$ was 1.00 K at 352 K for an applied field of 2 T.

For the development of solid oxide fuel cell the joined interface formation between perovskite oxygen electrode and YSZ solid electrolyte is emphasized in the aspect of reducing the undisirable overpotential. The diffusion couple of LaMnO3 and YSZ was prepared by hot pressing at 130$0^{\circ}C$ in the flow of oxygen gas. The high temperature solid state reaction mechanism between LaMnO3 and YSZ is discussed on the basis of the cation composition profile through EDX analysis. The cation components in perovskite compound diffuse considerably into YSZ, while cations of YSZ diffuse little into perovskite.

An oxygen deficient perovskite (CaLa)(MgMn)O5.43, with the cubic unit cell parameter of 3.826$\AA$, was prepared 115$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs under the ambient oxygen gas pressure. The average oxidation state of manganese was determined to be 3.86 by the iodometric titration, so that the perovskite could be formulated as (CaLa) ({{{{ { MgMn}`_{ chi } ^{II } }}{{{{ { Mn}`_{ y} ^{III } }}{{{{ { Mn}`_{1- chi -y } ^{IV } }})O5.43 (2x+y=0.14). From X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the manganese ions in the lattice are mostly tetravalent, but two paramagnetic configurations were observed in the EPR spectrum: One sharp isotropic signal with hyperfines (ΔH 50 G, g=1.997$\pm$0.002 and │A│=82(4)$\times$10-4 cm-1) and a broad isotropic one (ΔH 1600 G, g=1.994$\pm$0.002), those which correspond respectively to Mn(II) and Mn(IV) ions. According to the magnetic susceptibility measurement, it follows the Curie-Weiss law from 20 K up to room temperature with $\mu$eff=5.23 $\mu$B, which is relatively larger than spin-only value({{{{ { mu }`_{eff} ^{s.o } }}=4.04 $\mu$B) due to the effect of weak ferromagnetic coupling. Such a result is in accord with a theory of semicovalence exchange.
