Study of Magnetic Transition and Magnetocaloric Effect in La1-xSrxMnO3 (0.20≤ x ≤0.35) Compounds
Abstract:
We report the magnetic transition and large magnetic entropy change in Sr doped lanthanum manganites. Polycrystalline La1-xSrxMnO3 (0.20 x 0.35) samples were prepared using the conventional solid-state reaction method. The results of X-ray diffraction indicates perovskite phase without any impurity. The magnetic study has revealed that the Curie temperature is influenced by Sr-concentration. The doping of Sr at La site affects the Mn-O bond length and Mn-O-Mn bond angle due to the difference in their ionic radii, consequently, the Curie temperature changed. A large magnetic entropy change has been observed for La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 sample, the value of the maximum entropy change (SMmax) increases from 1.42 to 2.74 J/kgK as magnetic field increases from 1 to 2.5 T. This investigation suggests that La1-xSrxMnO3 can be used as a potential magnetic refrigeration material.
