| Abstract: | This study investigates the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of Nd1-3xBaxCaxSrxMnO₃ ( 0.066 ≤ x ≤ 0.11 ) manganites through experimental analysis and numerical simulations. Using the Arrott–Noakes equation and the Landau model, critical exponents (γ, β) were determined to be (1; 0.43), (1.06; 0.39), and (1; 0.88) for Nd1-3xBaxCaxSrxMnO₃ with x = 0.066, 0.1, and 0.11, respectively, via the Modified Arrott Plot and Kouvel–Fisher method, revealing deviations from conventional universality classes. Numerical simulations of magnetization behavior showed strong agreement with experimental data. Magnetocaloric effect (MCE) analysis demonstrated an enhanced magnetic entropy change ( - Δ S M ) with increasing Ba, Ca, and Sr doping, leading to improved refrigeration efficiency, particularly at x = 0.1. The present samples exhibit considerable maximum magnetic entropy change of Δ S M max of 5.24, 4.15 and 2.65 J·kg−1·K−1 with Temperature-Averaged Entropy Change TEC (3 K) of 4.77, 4.06 and 2.61 J·kg−1·K−1 under 5 T magnetic field for Nd1-3xBaxCaxSrxMnO₃ with x = 0.066, 0.1 and 0.11, respectively. These findings provide insights into optimizing doping strategies for enhanced magnetocaloric performance in manganite-based refrigerants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
