Abstract
La0.63Gd0.37MnO3 material was synthesized using the Pechini-modified-sol–gel method at different sintering temperatures 600, 650, 750, 800, and 900 °C. After characterizing the samples structurally and magnetically, we report a direct relation between the crystallite size, particles agglomeration level, and material performance in field-cooling/zero-field-cooling magnetization modes, in addition to an inverse relation between the existence of Griffith phase and the samples’ magneto-caloric performance. The material sintered at 800 °C presents the maximum isothermal entropy change among others that is 7.57 J kg−1 K−1 at 7 T, in addition to a good performance shown at higher temperatures, making it a promising candidate for different cooling applications.
