Abstract

The compositional dependence of the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of La0.6Pr0.1Ba0.3MnO3 (LPBMO) and La0.6Pr0.1Ba0.3Mn0.9Fe0.1O3 (LPBMFO) were investigated. Polycrystalline samples were prepared by the standard solid-state reaction method. Temperature-dependent magnetization measurements and Arrott analysis reveal second-order ferromagnetic transitions in both samples with Curie temperature increasing with doping iron from 94 K for LPBMO to 277 K for LPBMFO. Magnetic entropy change \( | {\Delta S_{\text{M}} } | \) was calculated by applying the thermodynamic Maxwell equation to a series of isothermal field-dependent magnetization curves. However, the analysis of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) using Landau theory of phase transition shows that the contributions to the free energy from the presence of ferromagnetic clusters are strongly influencing the MCE by coupling with the order parameter around the Curie temperature.
