In this article, we investigate the critical behavior of La0.7Ba0.2Ca0.1Mn1-xSnxO3 samples (x = 0.00 and 0.01) near the PM-FM phase transition. We determine the critical parameters through an iterative process using modified Arrott plots and confirm them using other techniques such as the Kouvel-Fisher method and critical isotherm. Our findings show that the samples undergo a second-order phase transition and the accuracy of the critical exponent parameters is demonstrated.
In this article, we focus on the critical behavior of La0.7Ba0.2Ca0.1Mn1-xSnxO3 samples (x = 0.00 and 0.01) around the PM-FM phase transition by measuring the magnetization M (mu H-0) versus magnetic field. The study is based on an iterative process using modified Arrott plots. We then use other techniques to confirm the critical parameters obtained for our manganites, such as the Kouvel-Fisher (KF) method and the critical isotherm (CI) around Tc. Our samples are characterized by a second-order phase transition. The critical parameters determined (beta, gamma and delta) have no known universal classes. Moreover, Widom's scaling formula delta = 1 + gamma/beta, demonstrates the accuracy of the critical exponent parameters. In addition, we employ the scaling equation M(H,epsilon)=epsilon beta f +/-(H epsilon beta+gamma)M(H,epsilon)=epsilon(beta)f(+/-)(H/epsilon(beta+gamma)) with epsilon = (T-T-C)/T-C to further verify the reasonableness of the critical exponent in which the curves (M-mu 0H-T) split into two distinct branches under and over the T-C. Furthermore, the simulated M (H, T) plots were generated to determine the - S-M (T) plots; according to the Gibbs free energy within the obtained critical exponent.
