A thorough understanding of the magnetocaloric properties of existing magnetic refrigerant
materials has been an important issue in magnetic refrigeration technology. This paper …

Perovskite oxides show an amazing diversity of electronic and magnetic properties along
with a myriad of structural variants and phase transitions. Large thermal changes may be …

This chapter attempts to systematically outline some fundamentals and key experimental
results concerning magnetic properties of perovskite manganites, focusing on (i) …

Abstract The La 0.8 Ca 0.2− x□ x MnO 3,(x= 0–0.20) compounds were prepared by the solid-
state reaction. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetic measurements were used to investigate …

Abstract Controlled substitution of Praseodymium (Pr) in place of Lanthanum (La) was
performed in La 1.4-x Pr x Ca 1.6 Mn 2 O 7 (x= 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) to explore a …

Abstract An epitaxial La 0.8 Ca 0.2 MnO 3/LaAlO 3 (LCMO/LAO) thin film was fabricated
using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique to evaluate the magnetoresistance (MR) …

A giant magnetocaloric effect was found in La 0.7 Ca 0.3 MnO 3 manganite at low magnetic
fields. The magnetic entropy changes caused by a magnetic field change of 0.5 and 1.0 T …

Abstract The lacunar La 0.5 Eu 0.2 Ba 0.2□ 0.1 MnO 3 nanoparticles where□ is a barium
deficiency has been prepared using the sol-gel method. The MT data suggests that the …

Abstract La 0.62 Nd 0.05 Ba 0.33 MnO 3 nanoparticles were prepared using co-precipitation
process. Single phase compound formation was confirmed using X-ray diffraction analysis …

In this paper, the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of a series of
manganites with non-stoichiometric composition of La 0.67 Ca 0.33 Mn 1+ δ O 3 (δ= 0,±0.05 …
