Abstract:

Polycrystalline layered perovskite manganese oxides La1.4Sr1.6-xCaxMn2O7 (x=0,0.2,0.4,0.8,1.0,1.4,1.6) samples is prepared using solid state reaction.The XRD analysis shows that La1.4Sr1.6-xCaxMn2O7 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.8) samples are Sr3Ti2O7-type tetragonal structure with space group I4/mmm and forms a layered perovskite structure; for the 1.0≤ x ≤1.6 series of samples the main phase is ABO3 type orthorhombic structure with space group Pbnm.For small amount of Ca2+ ion-doped sample (x = 0.2,0.4), induce serious Jahn-Teller(J-T) distortion of MnO6 octahedral.For a large number of doping (1.0≤ x ≤1.6) samples, ferromagnetic - paramagnetic transition occurs near the Curie temperature (Tc) from low to high temperatures.With increasing doping amount, the magnetization reached maximum at x=1.4 samples.Maximum magnetic entropy change of the three samples(x=1.0,1.4,1.6) reaches 0.84, 1.20 and 2.28 J kg-1 K-1 at 320,268 and 215K near the Curie temperature, respectively. The large magnetic entropy change effect under low magnetic field of the sample makes it an optimal candidate of room temperature magnetic refrigeration materials.
