Abstract
An exhaustive study of structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties on La1.95Sr0.05BMnO6 (B = Ni and Co) double perovskite were performed. The samples were prepared by the sol–gel method. The crystallographic structure was studied by the X-ray diffraction patterns and Rietveld refinement which revealed that all samples crystallize in a monoclinic structure with P21/n space group. The magnetic behaviors of these double perovskite have been studied in detail. For La1.95Sr0.05NiMnO6, the M(T) curves exhibit double magnetization transition temperature at 68 K and 266 K which can be ascribed to Ni3+–O–Mn3+ and Ni2+–O–Mn4+ superexchange interaction, respectively. However, unique magnetic transition has been observed for the La1.95Sr0.05CoMnO6 double perovskite at 210 K due to Co2+–O–Mn4+ superexchange interaction. A deep investigation based on the Landau Theory and Arrot analysis confirmed a second order ferromagnetic phase transition for both samples. Besides, the magnetocaloric behaviors of these new samples have been studied by analysis the magnetic entropy change. This latter reached maximum values of 1.01 and 1.35 J/kg/K for La1.95Sr0.05NiMnO6 and La1.95Sr0.05CoMnO6, respectively, under µ0H = 5 T. Moreover, the relative cooling power values for La1.95Sr0.05NiMnO6 and La1.95Sr0.05CoMnO6 are found to be 94 J/kg and 116 J/kg, respectively, under µ0H = 5 T. Based on the obtained ΔSM data, we have also described the universal master curve for (ΔSM/\(\Delta S_{M}^{{\hbox{max} }}\)) versus rescaled temperature to confirm the order magnetic phase transition. Interestingly, all the ΔSM(T, H) data points are collapsed into a universal curve in the whole temperature range. The significant values of relative cooling power for both samples suggest that they might be an interesting candidate for exploring a new kind of magnetic refrigerants.
