Changes in microstructure, magnetocaloric effect and critical behavior of La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 manganites by K/Co doping
We prepared La 0.8- x K x Sr 0.2 Mn 0.95 Co 0.05 O 3 (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.1) (LKSMCO) through the modified sol-gel method (S-G) and its structure. Then, the magnetic, magnetocaloric, and critical behavior were analyzed. LKSMCO was confirmed to be the rhombohedral structure within the R-3c space group (No.167) using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. For validating the chemical composition of LKSMCO, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and EDS were applied, showing that K + was successfully doped. Phase transition of LKSMCO from paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase near Curie temperature (Tc) was confirmed with a Magnetic Property Measurement System (MPMS). Using normalization and Banerjee's criterion, LKSMCO was demonstrated to be the second-order magnetic phase transition (SOMPT). As shown from the applied magnetic field, the maximal magnetic entropy ( − Δ S M m a x ) of LKSMCO near Tc was 3.87 J/(kg K) ( x = 0.00), 4.28 J/(kg K) ( x = 0.05) and 4.44 J/(kg K) ( x = 0.10). We employed the Kouvel-Fisher approach (KF) and modified Arrott plots to confirm the values of γ, δ , and β . This indicates that critical exponents of LKSMCO were consistent with the Mean-filed model.
