Abstract
The metal - insulator transition (MIT), of the oxides type perovskite formed by elements of Rare Earths (TR), presents an interesting behavior in the family derived from Pr0.5Ca0.5Co03-δ .In this paper it is studied the influence of ionic radius of the rare earth TR in the crystalline structure and in the synthesis of the new family perovskite type Pr0.48TR0.02Ca0.5Co03-δ (TR=Eu,Sm,Dy),produced by the technique of the solid state reaction. The structural characterization of the system was realized by X-rays diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld analysis, demonstrating that the samples crystallize in a orthorhombic structure with spatial group Pnma (#62), without significant changes in phase structural generated by the variation of the ionic radius. They were measurements of magnetization as a function of temperature with the vibrating sample magnetometer VSM of the Quantum Design, in temperature range from 50 to 310K. The curves of the magnetization as a function of temperature presented a similar behavior for all system.
