Abstract: We report a study on the magnetic properties of the (La 0.56 Ce 0.14 )Sr 0.30 MnO 3 perovskite, by a mean-field method. By scaling of the experimental magnetization data, the mean-field exchange parameter λ and the B S function of the equation of state B S [ ( H + H exch ) / T ] are directly determined, as well as the order of the phase transition. The spin quantum number of the manganite has been also determined. The mean-field scaling has been used to estimate magnetic entropy change ( − Δ S M ) within the thermodynamics of the model and without using the usual numerical integration of a Maxwell relation. The maxima of the positive absolute value of ( − Δ S M ) upon variation of the applied magnetic field at 1 and 5 T are about 1.68 and 5.04 J kg −1 K −1 , respectively. Satisfactory agreement between the mean-field model and experimental behavior has been found. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
