Abstract
In this study, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Pr 0.68Ca 0.32− x Sr x MnO 3 ( x=0, 0.1, 0.18, 0.26 and 0.32) compounds were investigated. X-ray results indicated that all the samples have a single phase of orthorhombic symmetry. The orthorhombic unit cell parameters increase with the increase in Sr content. Large negative magnetic entropy changes (−26.2 J/kg K at 38 K and 5 T for x=0 and −6.5 J/kg K at 83 K and 6 T for x=0.1) were attributed to ultrasharp metamagnetic transitions. The peak value of Δ S m decreased from −4.1 J/kg K for x=0.18 sample to −2.4 J/kg K for x=0.32 at 1 T magnetic field.
