description The manganites compound in which composed of the manganese oxide are attract considerable attention among researcher due to their electrical and magnetic properties at lower temperature. However, most of the doping does not totally induce the ferromagnetic-metallic (FMM) state probably due to dopant level.

In this study, the monovalent doped Pr0.75Na0.25-yAgyMnO3 (y = 0 – 0.10) manganites was prepared by solid-state reaction method. All samples have been characterized using the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) as well as DC electrical resistivity and AC susceptibility measurement to clarify the influence of Ag-doped on monovalent doped manganites.
