Abstract
In-depth research of the effects of monovalent doping on magnetocaloric properties of manganites Nd0.6Sr0.4−xMxMnO3 (x = 0.0, 0.1; M = K, Na) synthesized by sol–gel were studied. The magnetization-versus-temperature curves reveal a second-order phase transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic at the Curie temperature. The Curie temperature is found to decrease from 276 K in the Nd0.6Sr0.4MnO3 to 250 K and 248 K in Nd0.6Sr0.3K0.1MnO3 and Nd0.6Sr0.3Na0.1MnO3, respectively. The Nd0.6Sr0.3K0.1MnO3 has the highest isothermal magnetic entropy change (5.45 J/kg.K), whereas Nd0.6Sr0.3Na0.1MnO3 has the highest relative cooling power (144.41 J/Kg), which denotes its potentiality in cooling fields. The charge difference of Sr, K, and Na influence the ratio of Mn4+/Mn3+, causing significant fluctuations in Nd0.6Sr0.4MnO3manganite.Various approaches are used to derive the critical exponents, and they are shown to be consistent with the values predicted by the tricritical mean field. This work highlights that monovalent ions doped are promising for magnetic refrigeration near room temperature.
