摘要

Polycrystalline perovskite La0.68Sm0.1K0.22Mn0.99O3−δ has been elaborated following a conventional solid-state method. X-ray powder diffraction and Rietveld refinement prove that the compound crystallizes in the rhombohedral (R-3c) space group, with lattice paremeters a = 5.51129 Å, c = 13.42700 Å at RT. The rhombohedral phase is further supported by Raman spectroscopy analysis. The temperature dependence of DC-magnetization has revealed that the sample exhibits a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition and magnetic disorder, with a Curie temperature TC = 214 K, corresponding to a double-exchange interaction. It is also evident the presense of a Griffiths-like phase above TC. Covalent and ionic interactions stabilize the structure as evidenced by the calculated 2D-electron density and Hirshfield surface analysis. The magnetocaloric properties, entropy ( \(\:{\varDelta\:\text{S}}_{\text{M}}\) ), relative cooling power (RCP), and heat capacity (ΔCP) have been investigated theoretically by using experimental magnetization data. The maximum entropy change, \(\:|-{\varDelta\:\text{S}}_{\text{M}}^{\text{m}\text{a}\text{x}}|\) , reaches the highest value of 0.088 J kg− 1 K− 1 under an applied magnetic field of 0.1 T, which may be an interesting value for magnetic refrigeration.
