摘要
Bulk nanocrystalline La0.67Ba0.33_xKxMnO3 (with x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2) manganites have been prepared by the modified sol-gel method (Pechini). The single-phase rhombohedral crystal structure with the R-3c (no. 167) space group was verified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and sustained by Rietveld refinement. As follows from the results of XRD structural analyses, the increase in K-doping triggers an increase in the distortion of the MnO6 octahedra, which eventually causes the narrowing of the eg bandwidth. Mn is in a mixed valence state of Mn4+/ Mn3+ as inferred by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Magnetic measurements confirm that the Curie tem-perature decreases from 348 K for La0.67Ba0.33MnO3 to 316 K for La0.67Ba0.13K0.20MnO3. The increasing of the Mn4+ ion concentration at the B-site sublattice and A-site ionic disorder (sigma 2) breaks up the double exchange interaction between the Mn3+ and Mn4+ ions. The ferromagnetic to paramagnetic second-order magnetic phase transition at TC is also confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance. According to magnetic field-dependent magnetization isotherms at different temperatures, La0.67Ba0.13K0.20MnO3 shows a relatively large magneto -caloric effect (1400 mJ cm_ 3 K_ 1 at 316 K under 5 T applied magnetic field), which raises the possibility of using this material for room-temperature micro-scale magnetic cooling.
