Title: Effect of Gd substitution on the structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties of HoCrO 3

Abstract

Rare-earth chromites are a novel type of magnetoelectric multiferroics. Here, a Ho0.33Gd0.67CrO3 powder sample was synthesized via a citrate route, and the structural properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and the Raman technique. The UV-Visible optical absorbance spectra were also measured in the wavelength range of 200–800 nm. The valence state of Cr was found to be purely 3+ according to the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The temperature-dependent dielectric constant and loss tangent data measured between the frequencies of 1 kHz and 1 MHz show no anomalies around the magnetic transition temperature of the material. The dc magnetization measurements show that the ordering temperature of Cr3+ ( T N C r ) is 155 K for Ho0.33Gd0.67CrO3, which is larger than 140 K for HoCrO3. The positive slope of the Arrott plots from 0 T to 7 T reveals that the antiferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition is second-order in nature. At a field of 7 T, the Ho0.33Gd0.67CrO3 sample showed a giant magnetocaloric entropy change, -ΔS, of ~23.3 J/kg K at 5 K, and a refrigeration capacity of ~481.2 J/kg, which are much higher than those of pure bulk HoCrO3. This renders this material prospective for magnetic refrigeration in the low temperature (<30 K) range.
