Abstract:

La0.62Ca0.29K0.09MnO3(LCKMO) film was epitaxially grown on the (001) SrTiO3(STO) single crystal substrate by pulsed laser deposition and a smooth and dense film was obtained by controlling the substrate temperature. The structure was characterized by 2D X-ray area detector and high resolution transmission electron microscopy, and the results indicate a high quality oriented growth of the film with the relationship of {001}LCKMO||{001}STO. At the magnetic field of 5 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change and relative cooling power of the film is 3.45 J/(kg·K) and 379.5 J/kg, respectively. A notable case is that the full width at half maximum of |ΔSM| is 110 K, which is desirable for the Ericsson cycle, the excellent magneto caloric effect of the LCKMO film reveals its great applicative potentialities as magnetic cooling refrigerant.
