Abstract:
In this paper, we have studied the critical behavior and the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) simulation for the La0.75Ca0.1Na0.15MnO3 (LCNMO) compound at the second order ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition. The optimized critical exponents, based on the Kouvel-Fisher method, were found to be: β = 0.48 and γ = 1. These obtained values supposed that the Mean Field Model (MFM) is the proper model to analyze adequately the MCE in the LCNMO sample. The isothermal magnetization M(H, T) and the magnetic entropy change -ΔSM(H, T) curves were successfully simulated using three models, namely the Arrott-Noakes equation (ANE) of state, Landau theory, and MFM. The framework of the MFM allows us to estimate magnetic entropy variation in a wide temperature range within the thermodynamics of the model and without using the usual numerical integration of Maxwell relation.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
