“…According to the Curie-Weiss law for ferromagnetism, the large magnetic entropy change, ΔS M(T,H) , is expected at the Curie temperature T C and has high values for materials having large effective magnetic moment [11]. Since 1996, there have been numerous reports of exceptionally large magnetocaloric effects in perovskite manganese oxides [12]- [16]. In this paper, we report the critical parameters β, γ and δ determined from the Arrott plots, Arrott plots modified and magnetocaloric effects of the La 5/8 Ca 3/8 Mn 0.975 Pd 0.025 O 3 compound by analyzing the magnetization curves.…”
