Freshly co-precipitated lanthanum and ferric (or cobalt) hydroxide gels by sodium hydroxide were allowed to react at 100 degrees C under refluxing and stirring conditions for 4-6 h. These oven dried powders were heated at 450 degrees C to from crystalline LF (or LC) powders. The phase contents and lattice parameters were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Transmission electron microscope (TEM) investigations were carried out to examine the morphology and average particle size of these powders. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>A novel technique of mixing individual hydroxide is employed to prepare La0.65Sr0.35MnO3 (LSMO) at low temperature. Freshly prepared lanthanum and manganese hydroxides are mixed thoroughly with strontium hydroxide in stoichiometric ratio and heated at different temperatures ranging from 100 to 500 degrees C for 6 h. At 500 degrees C, formation of La0.65Sr0.35MnO3 was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction studies (XRD). This is the lowest temperature so far reported in the literature. The particle size and morphology were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},
