Notes:
In perovskite manganites La0.7−xNdxCa0.3MnO3 (x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.20) prepared by the sol–gel technique, large magnetocaloric effects have been observed. The maximum of the magnetic entropy change peaks at the magnetic ordering temperature. Compared to La0.7Ca0.3MnO3, an enhancement of the magnetocaloric effect has been obtained in the samples with Nd3+ dopant (for La0.5Nd0.2Ca0.3MnO3, the maximum of ΔSM is about −2.31 J/kg K). © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
