Pr0.67Ba0.33Mn1-xTixO3 (x = 0 and 0.02) were synthesized using a conventional solid-state synthesis method to investigate the effect of Ti substitution on their magnetic and electrical transport properties. All the samples were structurally evaluated by XRD diffraction Rietveld refinement method which showed an increase in unit cell volume with increasing Ni content, indicating that Ti is partially substituted at Mn. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-tray (EDX) are used to examine the surface morphology and identified elements in the samples' compounds. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) reveals that all the samples exhibit a transmission band in the range of 590 cm-1-610 cm-1. For x = 0, magnetization measurements showed paramagnetic (PM) to ferromagnetic (FM) transition at the transition temperature, TC ∼ 213 K. For Ti-substituted samples, ferromagnetic (FM) to PM transition was reduced with Curie temperature (TC), decreasing from 213 K (x = 0) to 205 K (x = 0.02). On the other hand, the M(H) showed the presence of a linear graph for x = 0 and x = 0.02 which may be related to the presence of paramagnetic at room temperature. © 2023, S.C.
