Abstract

Magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Cr-doped SmMnO3 perovskite manganites have been studied in the temperature range of 20–300 K. The doping of Cr in SmMnO3 leads to a lowering of the Neel Temperature (TN). The orthorhombically structured Pnma (62) space group of chromium-doped SmMnO3 was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction measurements. The micrograin formation of the manganite was confirmed by the morphological analysis. The Neel temperature obtained from the temperature-dependent magnetization is illustrating the change from 40–50 K on decreasing concentration of chromium. The doping of chromium decreases the magnetic entropy change of SmMn(1-x)CrxO3(x = 0.0, 0.3) powders. The inclusion of Cr in SmMnO3 has been inferred and the increase in the magnetic entropy opens the possibility of its application as a refrigerant.
