Critical Behavior and Size Dependence of Magnetic Entropy Changes on La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 Manganite

Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism volume 31, pages3723–3732(2018)Cite this article

Abstract

In this work, nano and micro scales of La0.6Sr0.4MnO3 ceramics are prepared by sol-gel and solid-state reaction methods. In order to investigate the dependency of the magnetic properties on the size variation of as-prepared samples, their magnetic entropy change (ΔSM) at different magnetic fields and temperatures are fitted by Lorentz universal function. The obtained results confirmed the size impression on magneto-caloric properties, in spite of proving significant influence on some parameters related to the refrigeration system.
