Abstract
This research study explores the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of La0.67-xEuxBa0.33Mn0.85Fe0.15O3 (x = 0 and 0.1) magnetic compounds elaborated using the Sol–Gel method, based on a phenomenological approach proposed by Mahmoud Aly Hamad. The studied compounds exhibit a second-order ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM) transition with increasing temperature. A correlation between the experimental measurements and the theoretical analysis is established. Indeed, the value of the magnetocaloric effect was determined from the theoretical model based on magnetization as a function of temperature at several magnetic fields. Under an applied magnetic field of 5T, the absolute values of the maximum magnetic entropy change are evaluated at 0.92 and 0.60 J kg−1 K−1 for x = 0 and 0.1 respectively. This reduction may be attributed to a Curie temperature distribution implying also a decrease in the relative cooling power (RCP). The RCP and the specific heat capacity values are also estimated thanks to this model. The results predicted by this model allow us to propose these compounds as promising candidates for magnetic refrigeration.
期刊介绍:
While ceramics have traditionally been admired for their mechanical, chemical and thermal stability, their unique electrical, optical and magnetic properties have become of increasing importance in many key technologies including communications, energy conversion and storage, electronics and automation. Electroceramics benefit greatly from their versatility in properties including:
-insulating to metallic and fast ion conductivity
-piezo-, ferro-, and pyro-electricity
-electro- and nonlinear optical properties
-feromagnetism.
When combined with thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability, these properties often render them the materials of choice.
The Journal of Electroceramics is dedicated to providing a forum of discussion cutting across issues in electrical, optical, and magnetic ceramics. Driven by the need for miniaturization, cost, and enhanced functionality, the field of electroceramics is growing rapidly in many new directions. The Journal encourages discussions of resultant trends concerning silicon-electroceramic integration, nanotechnology, ceramic-polymer composites, grain boundary and defect engineering, etc.
