The magnetic behaviors and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of Pr0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (PSMO-7) film grown on a (001) SrTiO3 single-crystal substrate by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) were studied in this paper. X-ray diffraction with a high resolution (HRXRD) measurement shows that PSMO-7 film is grown with a (001) single orientation. The magnetic properties and the MCE related to the ferromagnetic (FM) phase transition of the PSMO-7 film are investigated using the temperature dependence of magnetization M(T) and the magnetic field dependence of magnetization M(H). The M(T) data suggest that with decreasing temperatures, the PSMO-7 film goes through the transition from the paramagnetic (PM) state to the FM state at around the Curie temperature (TC). The TC (about 193 K) can be obtained by the linear fit of the Curie law. Magnetic hysteresis loop measurements show that the PSMO-7 film exhibits the FM feature at temperatures of 10, 100, and 150 K (low magnetic hysteresis can be found), while the film reveals the PM feature with the temperature increased up to 200 and/or 300 K. The research results of M(H) data are consistent with the M(T) data. Furthermore, the magnetic entropy change () of the PSMO-7 film was studied. It was found that the maximum value of () near TC reaches about 4.7 J/kg·K under the applied field change of 20 kOe, which is comparable to that of metal Gd ( of 2.8 J/kg K under 10 kOe), indicating the potential applications of PSMO-7 film in the field of magnetic refrigeration.

We have investigated the structural, magnetic, and electrical transport properties of Pr0.7 Sr0.3 Mn(1−x)Cox O3 nanopowders (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15). The Pechini Sol-gel method was used to synthesize these nanopowders. X-ray diffraction at room temperature shows that all the nano powders have an orthorhombic structure of Pnma space group crystallography. The average crystallite size of samples x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 are 33.78 nm, 29 nm, 33.61 nm, and 24.27 nm, respectively. Semi-quantitative chemical analysis by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) confirms the expected stoichiometry of the sample. Magnetic measurements indicate that all samples show a ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM) transition with increasing temperature. The Curie temperature TC gradually decreases (300 K, 270 K, 250 K, and 235 K for x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15, respectively) with increasing Co concentrations. The M-H curves for all compounds reveal the PM behavior at 300 K, while the FM behavior characterizes the magnetic hysteresis at low temperature (5 K). The electrical resistivity measurements show that all compounds exhibit metallic behavior at low temperature (T < Tρ) well fitted by the relation ρ = ρ0 + ρ2T2 + ρ4.5T4.5 and semiconductor behavior above Tρ (T > Tρ), for which the electronic transport can be explained by the variable range hopping model and the adiabatic small polaron hopping model. All samples have significant magnetoresistance (MR) values, even at room temperature. This presented research provides an innovative and practical approach to develop materials in several technological areas, such as ultra-high density magnetic recording and magneto resistive sensors.
