| Abstract: | La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 samples were prepared in nano- and polycrystalline forms by the sol–gel and solid state reaction methods, respectively, and structurally characterized by synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The magnetic properties determined by ac susceptibility and dc magnetization measurements are discussed. The magnetocaloric effect in this nanocrystalline manganite is spread over a broader temperature interval than in the polycrystalline case. The relative cooling power of the poly- and nanocrystalline manganites is used to evaluate a possible application for magnetic cooling below room temperature. PACS 75.30.Sg; 75.47.Lx; 77.80.Bh |
