Structural, transport and magnetic properties of Pr2CoMnO6

Variable range hopping (VRH) of polarons constitutes the conduction mechanism in monoclinic Pr₂CoMnO₆ perovskite. Thermomagnetic data suggests ferromagnetic interactions are prominent and ferromagnetic to the paramagnetic transition of the compound is found to be at 178 K. M-H loops at different temperatures characterizes the exact magnetic behavior of the perovskite.
