Abstract
The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect of EuTi1−xMnxO3 (x = 0–0.1) compounds are investigated. When the Ti4+ was substituted by Mn2+, the lattice constants were changed, the Eu3+ state and the oxygen vacancy generated. The exchange mechanisms were more complex among the Mn2+ 3d, the Eu 5d and Eu2+ 4f. The FM phase was dominant between AFM and FM as Mn substitute for Ti, which improve the MCE under low magnetic field. The values of −ΔSMmax are evaluated to 11.7 and 11.1 J/kg K for EuTi0.975Mn0.025O3 and EuTi0.95Mn0.05O3 compounds, under a magnetic field change of 1 T. And, the values of RC were obviously enhanced under the magnetic field changes of 1 and 2 T. Therefore, the giant reversible MCE makes these compounds promising candidates for magnetic refrigeration.
