Abstract
\({\hbox {La}}_{0.7}{\hbox {K}}_{x}{\hbox {Ca}}_{0.3-x}{\hbox {MnO}}_{3}\) (\(x=0,\) 0.05, 0.1) perovskites were prepared by sol–gel method. The K-doped effect was determined by the structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of the compounds. In the crystal structure of K-doped \({\hbox {La}}_{0.7}{\hbox {Ca}}_{0.3}{\hbox {MnO}}_{3},\) Mn–O–Mn bond angle slightly increases with K addition. The transition shifts the range of 270–320 K when the K is added in \({\hbox {La}}_{0.7}{\hbox {Ca}}_{0.3}{\hbox {MnO}}_{3}.\) The Curie temperature increases from 251 to 288 K with increasing K amount. The maximum magnetic entropy change was found to be 2.7 J kg\(^{-1}\,{\hbox {K}}^{-1}\) at 283 K under a magnetic field change of 2 T for the \({\hbox {La}}_{0.7}{\hbox {K}}_{0.05}{\hbox {Ca}}_{0.25}{\hbox {MnO}}_{3}.\) The relative cooling powers (RCPs) in the \({\hbox {La}}_{0.7}{\hbox {K}}_{x}{\hbox {Ca}}_{0.3-x}{\hbox {MnO}}_{3}\) (\(x=0,\) 0.05, 0.1) samples were calculated to be 103, 133 and 88 J kg\(^{-1},\) respectively.
