The characteristics of the phase transition of polycrystalline La0.7Ca0.3MnO3—δ (LCMO) was investigated by using the vibrating reed method. The internal friction (Q—1) of the sample shows two peaks: P1 and P2. The first internal friction peak, P1, appears in heating up and cooling down indicative of a paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition with a considerable resonant frequency drop at the transition point. The second broader internal friction peak, P2, appears only in heating up and its corresponding frequency (f) exibits a maximum. Additionally, the P1 temperature was found to be linked with a thermal absorption peak and a variation of the magnetization and the electric resistance.
