The effect of substitution of Al(3+), Ga(3+) and Sc(3+) ions in the Mn(3+) site of La0.5Sr0.5MnO3 on the thermochemical splitting of CO2 to generate CO has been studied in detail. Both La0.5Sr0.5Mn1-xGaxO3 and La0.5Sr0.5Mn1-xScxO3 give high yields of O2 and generate CO more efficiently than La0.5Sr0.5Mn1-xAlxO3 or the parent La0.5Sr0.5MnO3. Substitution of even 5% Sc(3+) (x = 0.05) results in a...

We employ time-resolved resonant x-ray diffraction to study the melting of charge order and the associated insulator-to-metal transition in the doped manganite Pr_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}MnO_{3} after resonant excitation of a high-frequency infrared-active lattice mode. We find that the charge order reduces promptly and highly nonlinearly as function of excitation fluence. Density-functional theory calcul...
