The monoliths obtained were crack free and showed both optical and magnetic properties. The structural properties were determined by infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffractometry and transmission electron microscopy. Fe3O4 particles of 20 nm size lie within the pores of the matrix without any strong Si-O-Fe bonding. The well established silica network provides effective confinement to these nanoparticles. The composites were transparent in the 600-800 nm regime and the field dependent magnetization curves suggest that the composite exhibits superparamagnetic characteristics.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.537</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sagar, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ganesan, V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joy, Pattayil Alias</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thomas, Senoy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liebig, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Albrecht, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anantharaman, Maliemadom R.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colossal thermoelectric power in Gd-Sr manganites</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">EPL</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUL</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">EPL ASSOCIATION, EUROPEAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6 RUE DES FRERES LUMIERE, MULHOUSE, 68200, FRANCE</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">91</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17008</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Manganites belonging to the series Gd(1-x)Sr(x)MnO(3) (x=0.3, 0.4 and 0.5) were prepared by wet solid-state reaction and their thermoelectric power was evaluated. Thermoelectric power measurements revealed a peak value at similar to 40 K. All the samples exhibited a colossal thermopower at similar to 40K and in that Gd(0.5)Sr(0.5)MnO(3) exhibited a maximum value of similar to 35 V/K, which is the largest reported for these class of materials at this temperature. Temperature-dependent magnetisation measurements showed that the samples exhibit a phase transition from paramagnetic to spin-glass-like state at these temperatures. Plausible mechanisms responsible for the observed colossal thermoelectric power in Gd-Sr manganites are discussed.
