Influences of La and Ce doping on giant magnetocaloric effect of EuTiO

Giant reversible magnetocaloric effects and magnetic properties in Eu_(0.9)R_(0.1)TiO_3 (R = La, Ce) are investigated. The antiferromagnetic ordering of pure Eu TiO_3 can significantly change to be ferromagnetic as substitution of La(x = 0.1)and Ce(x = 0.1) ions for Eu~(2+) ions. The values of-?S_M and RC are evaluated to be 10.8 J/(kg·K) and 51.8 J/kg for Eu_(0.9)Ce_(0.1)TiO_3 and 11 J/(kg·K) and 39.3 J/kg for Eu_(0.9)La_(0.1)TiO_3 at a magnetic field change of 10 kOe, respectively. The large low-field enhancements of-?S_M and RC can be attributed to magnetic phase transition. The giant reversible MCE and large RC suggest that Eu_(0.9)R_(0.1)TiO_3 (R = La, Ce) compounds could be promising materials in low temperature and low magnetic field refrigerants.     

Observation of giant magnetocaloric effect under low magnetic fields in EuTi_(1-x)Co_xO_3

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect(MCE) in EuTi_(1-x)Co_xO_3(x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1) compounds have been investigated. When the Ti~(4+) ions were substituted by Co2+ions, the delicate balance was changed between antiferromagnetic(AFM) and ferromagnetic(FM) phases in the EuTiO_3 compound. In EuTi_(1-x)Co_xO_3 system, a giant reversible MCE and large refrigerant capacity(RC) were observed without hysteresis. The values of -?S_M~(max) were evaluated to be around 10 J·kg~(-1)·K~(-1) for EuTi_(0.95)Co_(0.05)O_3 under a magnetic field change of 10 kOe. The giant reversible MCE and large RC suggests that EuTi_(1-x)Co_xO_3 series could be considered as good candidate materials for low-temperature and low-field magnetic refrigerant.
