EXPLORING THE INFLUENCE OF B-SITE DOPANTS ON STRUCTURAL AND MAGNETIC PROPERIES IN La0.8Ag0.2Mn1-XCoxO3 (x: 0 and 0.1) COMPOUNDS

Abstract

This study examines the structural, electrical, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of La0.8Ag0.2Mn0.9A0.1O3 (A: Mn, and Co) compounds under doping in the B-site. XRD results show that the compound containing Co ions directly replaced Mn ions in the B-site without forming a secondary phase containing higher metallic Ag impurities. The data obtained using Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), the temperature dependence of magnetization (M-T), the magnetic field dependence of magnetization (M-H), and the magnetic entropy change (SM) analysis reveal the effect of the doped element on the magnetic properties of the compounds due to the changes they create in the structural and Mn3+/Mn4+ ratio. It has been determined that the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic transition temperature (Curie temperature, TC) of the La0.8Ag0.2Mn0.9Co0.1O3 (LAMO-Co) is quite lower than the LAMO.
