La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 (LSMO) nanorods were synthesized by a method combining sol-gel with molten salts at 950 °C for 10 h, which employed KCl+NaCl(mass ratio 4:1) as eutectic molten salts. The morphologies and magnetic properties of the resulting LSMO nanorods were investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM) measurements. It was found that the obtained perovskite manganite LSMO was a uniform nanorod with a diameter of about 50 nm and a length of longer than 500 nm. The Curie temperature(T c ) of the LSMO nanorod used here was 262 K, much lower than that of bulky single crystal LSMO(360 K). The low Curie temperature might be a result of the great disorder near the grain boundary, which could be observed clearly from the TEM picture.
