The manganite perovskite polycrystal samples of (La1-xDyx)2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.35, and 0.5) doped with Dy were prepared by solid state reaction in atmosphere to measure their X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, scanning electric microscope (SEM) images, infrared absorption spectra, and microwave electromagnetic properties. The displacement of the XRD peaks of the samples was found, and the 2θ increases from 0.05o to 0.5o. The grains of undoped La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 not only have the greatest size, but also the most regular shape. The size of the grains decreases as the Dy doping content increases from 0 to 0.5. The infrared absorption spectra of all samples were measured at room temperature. An absorption peak corresponding to the stretching vibration mode of Mn-O bonds appears within the range of 591-629 cm-1. The absorption peak shifts from a higher frequency to a lower one with the decrease of the average ionic radius of A-site. The frequency de- pendence of microwave-absorbing properties, imaginary components of the complex magnetic permeability μ" and dielectric permeability ε" for all samples was measured at room temperature from 8 to 13 GHz. The results show that the loss of microwave absorption can be attrib- uted to both the magnetic and electric losses. The increase of Dy content not only enhances the microwave absorption but also causes the displacement of the absorption peaks.
