In this paper, we have investigated the effect of the non-magnetic (d(10)) Ga3+ doping on structural, magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of La-0.7(Ba, Si)(0.3)Mn1-xGaxO3 (x=0.0, 0.1 and 0.2) manganites prepared by solid state reaction method. The XRD study has revealed that all samples crystallized in the orthorhombic symmetry with Pnma space group. Magnetization measurements have confirmed that when the temperature increases, all the compositions exhibit a ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition. The substitution of Mn by gallium Ga leads to a tune of the magnetic transition temperature (T-C) to room temperature and the Curie temperature decreases from 314 K for x=0.0 to 299 K for x=0.2. Moreover, the obtained results of the magnetocaloric effect are in accordance with the reported values of other doped manganites, leading to the conclusion that our sample can be used as a magnetic refrigerant at room temperature. Finally, using Arrott plots, the phase transition from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic was found to be of a second order. The second order magnetic phase transition has been confirmed by the construction of the universal curve of the magnetic entropy change. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
