In this work, the structural and magnetic properties of LaMn1-xCoxO3 (x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00) are investigated. The structural characterization of compounds by X-ray powder diffraction is evidence for a rhombohedral structure (R -3c space group). Much less increase of the unit cell volume suggests that Co enters in lattice as Co+2 for x ≤ 0.5 while much more decrease of the unit cell ...
