We have investigated the magnetocaloric effect along with magnetic phase transition and critical exponent analysis in mixed manganite La{sub 0.67}Sr{sub 0.33}Mn{sub 1−x}V{sub x}O{sub 3} (0≤x≤0.15). To determine the nature of the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition, found to be of second-order, we performed a critical exponents study by dc-magnetization M(H,T) measurements around the Curie temperature T{sub C}. Modified Arrott plot method has been adopted to study the critical behavior of the compounds at their transition region, the values of critical exponents β, γ and δ are close to those expected for three-dimensional Heisenberg class with short-range interaction. A large magnetic entropy change |ΔS{sub M}| deduced from isothermal magnetization curves, has been observed in our samples with a peak centered on their respective T{sub C}. With increase in vanadium content, the temperature corresponding to the maximum entropy change as well as the magnetic transition temperature gradually shifts to low temperatures. The field dependence of the magnetic entropy change is also analyzed, which shows the power law dependence namely, ΔS{sub M}∝H{sup n}. Relative cooling power increases from 205 J/kg for x=0.00 to 258 J/Kg for x=0.15 making these materials a promising candidates for magnetic refrigeration near room temperature. - Graphical abstract: Scaling plot below and above T{sub C} using the β and γ exponents determined from the Arrot plot method of La{sub 0.67}Sr{sub 0.33}Mn{sub 1−x}V{sub x}O{sub 3} for x=0.15. - Highlights: • The paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition of La{sub 0.67}Sr{sub 0.33}Mn{sub 1−x}V{sub x}O{sub 3} (0≤x≤0.15) is found to be of second-order. • The field dependence of the magnetic entropy shows the power law dependence namely, ΔS{sub M}∝H{sup n}. • Moderate values of −ΔS{sub M}{sup max} and RCP make the La{sub 0.67}Sr{sub 0.33}Mn{sub 1−x}V{sub x}O{sub 3} compounds potential candidates for magnetic refrigeration applications.
