Abstract
In this research work, samples of Pr0.8Sr0.2MnO3 were prepared using two methods: the conventional high-temperature ceramic method (sample R1) and the sol–gel method (sample R2) in order to form a composite. The Curie temperatures were found to be 161 K and 210 K for R1 and R2, respectively. We conducted a theoretical investigation of the magnetic and magnetocaloric (MC) properties of a composite constructed from R1 and R2 compounds to enhance the MC effect.The results suggest that our composite, with a Curie temperature evaluated at 190 K, could be a potential candidate for magnetic refrigeration. Refined values of the critical exponents β, γ, and δ, determined from the modified Arrott plots and the Kouvel–Fisher method, indicate that the behavior of the composite compound is consistent with the 3D Heisenberg model for T ≤ TC and with the mean-field model for T > TC.
