Europium substitution effects on structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties in La0.5Ca0.5MnO3

We have investigated structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of polycrystalline samples La0.5-xEuxCa0.5MnO3 (x=0 and 0.1). Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction patterns show that our samples are single phase and crystallize in the orthorhombic structure with Pnma space group. Magn...
