We have investigated the effect of sintering temperature on structural, magnetic, magnetocaloric and critical behaviors of Ni0.4Cd0.3Zn0.3Fe2O4 ferrites synthesized using sol-gel method at 900 degrees C and 1100 degrees C. X-ray diffraction patterns indicated that samples crystallize in the cubic spinel structure (Fd (3) over barm space group) with an increase of lattice constant and average crystallite size as the sintering temperature increases. Magnetic measurements revealed that that the prepared samples undergo second-order ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM) phase transitions. An increment in magnetization, Curie temperature, magnetic entropy change and relative cooling power has been observed with increasing the sintering temperature. The magnetic entropy change reached maximum values of about 1.11 J.kg(-1).K-1 and 1.62 J.kg(-1).K-1 for mu H-0 = 5 T corresponding to relative cooling power (RCP) of 152.09 J.kg(-1) and 253.65 J.kg(-1) for samples sintered at 900 degrees C and 1100 degrees C, respectively. These values are comparable favorably with those of some others ferrites considered as possible candidates for magnetic refrigeration. The estimated critical exponents obtained for sample sintered at 1100 degrees C are close to the tricritical mean-field model; whereas for sample sintered at 900 degrees C, the exponents belong to a different universality class. This change of critical exponents is mainly due to the increase of average crystallite size as the sintering temperature increases.
