Abstract
The thermal, structural and magnetocaloric properties of La1−xLixMn1−yFeyO3 (x = 0.1, 0.2 and y = 0, 0.1) powders were investigated in this study for application in magnetic refrigeration systems, using thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer. All samples were synthesized by flash combustion method using glycine as fuels and nitrates as precursors. The Li and Fe doped samples exhibited a rhombohedral structure and an R\(\overline{3}\)c space group. The increase of Li concentration to 20%, leads to the formation of LiMn2O4 spinel phase as a secondary phase. The ferromagnetic–paramagnetic transition was inferred from the temperature dependence of the magnetization. The magnetic entropy change (−ΔSM) has been calculated using the magnetization isotherms data. However, the increase of La substitution by Li from 10 to 20% leads to a decrease of the Curie temperature TC from 215 to 75 K accompanied with a maximum magnetic entropy change \(/ - \Delta {\text{S}}_{{\text{M}}}^{{{\text{max}}}} /\) from 3.63 to 1.52 J.Kg−1 K−1 under a magnetic field change of 5 T. Moreover, by the 10% Fe doping, there is a clear trend of decreasing the Curie temperature, the magnetic entropy change and the relative cooling efficiency. Therefore, in the vicinity of TC, (−ΔSM) reached a maximum value of 1.54 J.Kg−1 K−1 for La0.9Li0.1Mn0.9Fe0.1O3 and 0.96 J.Kg−1 K−1 for La0.8Li0.2Mn0.9Fe0.1O3. According to the Arrott plots results, a second-order ferromagnetic–paramagnetic transition was found for all the doped samples.
