La1-xSrxMnO3 films (0 less-than-or-equal-to x less-than-or-equal-to 1) have been synthetised by the Pyrosol method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Precursors were aqueous solutions of La, Sr and Mn nitrates. Films composed of monosized oxide grains were obtained on polycrystalline alumina substrates. The films were very homogeneous and their compositions in good agreement with those of the starting solutions. X-ray investigations revealed that the films had the same crystallographic structure as bulk materials.
