摘要
The effect of Cr doping on the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of perovskite manganites La0.75Sr0.25Mn1-x Cr (x) O-3 (x = 0.15, 0.20, and 0.25) has been investigated. Crystalline structure and magnetic properties are investigated by using X-ray powder diffraction and magnetization measurements, respectively. All samples show a single phase and are found to crystallize in the distorted rhombohedral system with space group. A monotonous change of Curie temperature (T (C)), from 314 to 253 K, is observed when content doping increases. Substantial magnetic entropy change reaching 4.20 J/kg K is revealed. Relative cooling power was estimated as well. It was found to reach 289, 323, and 386 J/kg for x = 0.15, 0.20, and 0.25, respectively. Field dependence of the magnetic entropy change showing the power law dependence is also analyzed and discussed.
