Critical behavior of La0.7Ca0.3Mn1 x NixO3manganites exhibiting the crossover offirst- and second-order phase transitions
We used Banerjee0 s criteria, modified Arrott plots, and the scaling hypothesis to analyze magneticfield dependences of magnetization near the ferromagnetic–paramagnetic (FM–PM) phasetransition temperature (TC) of perovskite-type manganites La0.7Ca0.3Mn1 x NixO3(x¼0.09, 0.12 and 0.15). In the FM...

s criteria, modified Arrott plots, and the scaling hypothesis to analyze magneticfield dependences of magnetization near the ferromagnetic–paramagnetic (FM–PM) phasetransition temperature (TC) of perovskite-type manganites La0.7Ca0.3Mn1 x
NixO3(x¼0.09, 0.12 and
0.15). In the FM region, experimental results for the critical exponentβ(¼0.171 and 0.262 for
x¼0.09 and 0.12, respectively) reveal twofirst samples exhibiting tricriticality associated with the
crossover offirst- and second-order phase transitions. Increasing Ni-doping content leads to the
shift of theβvalue (¼0.320 forx¼0.15) towards that expected for the 3D Ising model (β¼0.325).
This is due to the fact that the substitution of Ni ions into the Mn site changes structural parameters
and dilutes the FM phase, which act asfluctuations and influence the FM-interaction strength of

(¼0.976–0.990), the stability in its value demonstrates the PM behavior aboveTCof the samples.
Particularly, aroundTC of La0.7Ca0.3Mn1 x
NixO3 compounds, magnetic-field dependences of the
maximum magnetic-entropy change can be described by a power law of|ΔSmax|pH

n¼0.55–0.77 are quite far from those (n¼0.33–0.48) calculated from the theoretical relationn¼1þ
(β 1)/(βþγ). This difference is related to the use of the mean-field theory for the samples
