In this work, we present a systematic study on the effect of monovalent and divalent cation inclusion on the magnetic properties of the manganites series La0.80(Ag1xSrx)0.20MnO3 (x=0.01.0) synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The decreasing Sr:Ag proportion across the compositional series was verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Concerning magnetic properties, the hysteresis curves manifested an initial paramagnetic response at x=0.0, followed by a progressive ferromagnetic behavior with an optimum Ag:Sr ratio at x=0.75, for which an enhanced saturation magnetization of 51Am2/kg and a Curie temperature of 336K were recorded. Results are explained on the basis of the effect of the increasing unit cell volume on the double exchange interaction between magnetic Mn3+ Mn4+ atoms.
