Abstract
We have reported the sol-gel synthesis and microstructural, magnetic, magnetocaloric, and critical behaviors of La0.7Ba0.15Sr0.15CoO3 cobaltite. The XRD data refined by Rietveld technology confirms that a sample has a pure perovskite phase with rhombohedral structure. We tested the magnetization curve near the phase transition temperature (TC) from ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM), and made the Arrott diagram which confirmed the existence of the secondary phase transition. The obtained magnetic constants from hysteresis loop offer to the sample the possible use in some interesting technological applications. The M(μ0H, T) isothermal magnetizations have been analyzed to estimate the critical exponents (β, γ, and δ). We found that β exponent is close to that of the mean-field model; however, γ and δ exponents belong to an unconventional model. The reliability of the estimated critical exponents was checked from the magnetic field variations of the magnetic entropy change (− ΔSm) and the relative cooling power (RCP).
