Abstract

The magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of polycrystalline La-0.70(Ca0.30-xSrx)MnO3:Ag 10% manganite have been investigated. All compositions are crystallized in single phase orthorhombic Pbnm space group. Both, the insulator-metal transition temperature (T-IM) and Curie temperature (T-c) are observed at 298 K for x=0.10 composition. Though both T-IM and T-c are nearly unchanged with Ag addition, the MR is increased. The MR at 300 K is found to be as large as 31% with magnetic field change of 1 T, whereas it reaches up to 49% at magnetic field of 3 T for the La0.70Ca0.20Sr0.10MnO3:Ag-0.10 sample. The maximum entropy change (Delta S-Mmax) at near its T-c (300.5 K) is 7.61 J kg(-1) K-1 upon the magnetic field change of 5 T. The La0.70Ca0.20Sr0.10MnO3:Ag-0.10 sample having good MR (31%(1 T), 49%(3 T)) and reasonable change in magnetic entropy (7.6 J kg(-1).K-1, 5 T) at 300 K can be a potential magnetic refrigerant material at ambient temperatures.
