The double perovskite compound HCMO exhibits complex magnetic interactions and diverse magnetic states, along with unique magnetocaloric properties. With the presence of ferromagnetic superexchange interaction and local defects, HCMO shows potential for magnetic refrigeration at low temperatures. This compound holds promise for further studies on the complex 3d-4f exchange interaction in double perovskite systems.
The strong coupling between 3d and 4f based magnetic sublattices in double perovskite (DP) compounds results in various exotic complex magnetic interactions, and the ground state contains multiple fascinating and remarkable magnetic states. In this article, we have performed a detailed investigation of the crystal structure, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of the ordered monoclinic polycrystalline double perovskite Ho2CoMnO6 (HCMO) compound. A study of the magnetization dynamics employing temperature and magnetic field shows a powerful correlation between Ho and Co/Mn sublattices. Due to the presence of the ferromagnetic superexchange interaction in between Co2+-O-Mn4+ networks, the system undergoes an ordered state at the transition temperature, T-C approximate to 77 K. Below T-C, a clear compensation point continued by negative magnetization is noticed in the virgin state of the compound. The reduction of the saturation magnetization (M-s) in the hysteresis curves (M-H) can be explained by the existence of local anti-site defects or disorders and anti-phase boundaries in the system. Temperature dependence of magnetic entropy change (-Delta S) curves shows a maximum value of 13.4 J/kg K for Delta H = 70 kOe at a low temperature along with a noticeable inverse magnetocaloric effect. Moreover, the material holds reasonable values of magnetocaloric parameters. The absence of thermal hysteresis along with a large value of vertical bar Delta S vertical bar makes the system a potential candidate for low temperature as well as liquid nitrogen temperature-based magnetic refrigeration. Additionally, our experimental findings should encourage further detailed studies on the complex 3d-4f exchange interaction in the double perovskite system. Published under license by AIP Publishing.
