Magnetic Properties and Magnetocaloric Effect in Ordered Double Perovskites Sr1.8Pr0.2FeMo1-xWxO6
E-mail:
We report the structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Sr1.8Pr0.2FeMo1-xWxO6(0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) samples prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the formation of the tetragonal double perovskite structure with a I4/mmm space group in all the synthesized samples. The temperature dependent magnetization measurements reveal that all the samples go through a ferromagnetic to paramagnetic phase transition with an increasing temperature. The Arrott plot obtained for each synthesized sample demonstrates the second order nature of the magnetic phase transition. A magnetic entropy change is obtained from the magnetic isotherms. The values of maximum magnetic entropy change and relative cooling power at an applied field of 2.5 T are found to be 0.40 Jkg-1K-1 and 69 Jkg-1 respectively for the Sr1.8Pr0.2FeMoO6 sample. The tunability of magnetization and excellent magnetocaloric features at low applied magnetic field make these materials attractive for use in magnetic refrigeration technology.
