Abstract

The structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of La0.7Sr0.3-xLixMnO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.15) samples have been investigated. All our samples were synthesized using the sol–gel technique at low temperature. The Rietveld refinement of the X-ray powder diffraction shows that the La0.7Sr0.3-xLixMnO3 compounds crystallize in a rhombohedral system with \(R\overline{3} c\) space group. Magnetization measurements versus temperature showed that all our investigated samples display a paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition with decreasing temperature. The Curie temperature, TC, decreases with increasing Li content from 365 K for x = 0 to 194.4 K for x = 0.15. The maximum of the magnetic entropy change, \(\left| {\Delta S_{M}^{Max} } \right|\), under an applied magnetic field change of 2 T is found to be 1.97, 1.05, 1.07, and 1 J kg−1 K−1 for x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15 respectively. The relative cooling power reaches 82.1, 80.6, 83.2, and 102.5 Jkg−1 for x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15, respectively, under the same magnetic field change of 2 T.
