High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Lanthanum strontium manganite is an oxide ceramic material with the general formula La1-xSrxMnO3, where x describes the doping level and is usually in the range of 10-20%. It has a perovskite-based crystal structure, which has the general form ABO3. In the crystal, the 'A' sites are occupied by lanthanum and strontium atoms, and the 'B' sites are occupied by manganese atoms. In other words, the material consists of lanthanum manganite doped with strontium oxide. LSM is black in color and has a density of approximately 6.6 grams/mL. The actual density will vary depending on the processing method and actual stoichiometry. LSM is primarily an electronic conductor, with transference number close to 1. This material is commonly used in as a cathode material in commercially produced solid oxide fuel cells because it has a high electrical conductivity at higher temperatures, and its thermal expansion coefficient is well matched with yttria-stabilized zirconia, a common material for SOFC electrolytes.
