摘要

In this paper, we systematically study the magnetic critical behavior and magnetocaloric properties of pure parent LaMnO3 with hexagonal structure for the first time. By comparing the critical exponents obtained by the self-consistent method (modified Arrott plots, MAP) with the results derived from the Kouvel–Fisher (KF) relationship, the critical exponents of MAP is more reliable, and the critical behavior of LaMnO3 is consistent with the mean field model. Moreover, it is found that the negative entropy change (− ΔSM) reaches 4.18 J/kg·K at 255 K under 50 kOe field, and the relative cooling power (RCP) reaches 206.89 J/kg. Compared with other parent materials, the hexagonal LaMnO3 prepared in this work show a larger − ΔSM across the entire magnetic field range. The appearance of the maximum values of − ΔSM near Curie temperature (TC = 245 K) is related to magnetic phase transition. In addition, the calculated temperature-averaged entropy change (TEC) and normalized refrigerant capacity (NRC) further confirm its potential for magnetic refrigeration. These physical properties indicate the potential of hexagonal parent LaMnO3 for magnetic refrigeration applications.
