Phase formation and proton conduction in BaO doped LaSc $O_3$with perovskite structure were studied. L $a_{0.6}$B $a_{0.4}$Sc $O_{2.8}$, viz. 40at% $Ba^{2+}$ ion doped composition, showed a single cubic phase, while the other compositions doped less than 30 at% $Ba^{2+}$ ion showed the cubic phase and the orthorhombic one. Above $650^{\circ}C$ oxygen ion conduction was dominant in $N_2$atmosphere and below this temperature proton conduction was observed in wet atmosphere. All compositions were found to be the pure proton conductors below 30$0^{\circ}C$. The proton conductivity (bulk) of L $a_{0.6}$B $a_{0.4}$Sc $O_{2.8}$ was higher than those of any other composition.osition.ion.

The iron doped colossal magnetoresistance materials with La-Ba-Mn-O perovskites structure have been synthesized by chemical reaction of sol-gel methods. Their crystallographic and magnetic properties have been studied with x-ray diffraction, VSM, RBS, Mossbauer spectroscopy, and magnetoresistance measurements. The crystal structure of the La$\_$0.67/Ba$\_$0.33/Mn$\_$0.99/Fe$\_$0.01/ $O_3$ at room temperature was determined to be orthorhombic of Pnma. The lattice parameters a$\_$0/ and c$\_$0/ increased gradually, but b$\_$0/ deceased with increase of iron substitution. The magnetization and coercivity deceased, also the Curie temperature decreased from 360 K as x increased from 0.00 to 0.05. Magnetoresistence measurements were carried out, and the maximum MR ($\Delta$$\rho$/$\rho$(0)) was observed at 281 K, about 9.5 % in 10 kOe. The temperature of maximum resistance (R$\_$MAX/) decreased with increasing substitution of Fe ions and a semiconductor-metal transition temperature (T$\_$SC-M/) decreased too. This phenomena show that ferromagnetic transition temperature decreased by substituting Fe for Mn ions, it decreases double exchange interaction. This result accords with magnetic structure of neutron diffraction. Mossbauer spectra of La$\_$0.67/Ba$\_$0.33/Mn$\_$0.99/Fe$\_$0.01/ $O_3$were taken at various temperatures ranging from 15 to 350 K. With lowering temperature of the sample, two magnetic phases were increased and finally it showed the two sharp sextets of spectra at 15 K. The isomer shift at all temperature range is about 0.3 mm/s relative to Fe metal, which means that both Fe ions are Fe$\^$3+/ states.Fe$\^$3+/ states.
