Magnetic entropy change and critical exponents in double perovskite Y2NiMnO6

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We report on the magnetic entropy change and the critical exponents in the double perovskite manganite Y2NiMnO6 with a ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition TC=85K. For a magnetic field change of 80kOe, a maximum magnetic entropy change -6.57 J /kg K is recorded around TC. The corresponding relative cooling power (134 J / kg) is appreciable towards potential application as a magnetic refrigerant. The critical exponents, beta and gamma satisfy well to values derived for a 3D Heisenberg ferromagnet.
