We study ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition using Banerjee criterion in colossal magnetoresistive La[Formula: see text]Ca[Formula: see text]MnO3 nanoparticles of different sizes (20, 26 and 32 nm). These particles are chemically prepared by a modified citrate route. Particle sizes are estimated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Sample morphology and size distribution are examined by a transmission electron microscope. Order of transition is determined by measuring magnetic field dependence of magnetization near Curie temperature T[Formula: see text]. Our results reveal second-order magnetic transition in all three different-sized particles in contrast to the first-order transition reported in bulk samples. This is further supported by temperature dependences of zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) magnetizations. FC curves show gradual transition for all three samples without any saturation region as is the case of bulk. T[Formula: see text] is extracted from ZFC curves and is found to be 240 K for 20 nm particles and 258 K for both 26 and 32 nm particles. Magnetocaloric effect as a function of particle size also confirms the second-order magnetic transition in all three samples. The relative cooling power at 20 kOe is found to be decreasing with decreasing particle size.

The direct measurements of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and the magnetization for R2Fe17 (R = Y, Tb, Dy) compounds are reported. The maximal values of the MCE for different R2Fe17 compounds are almost the same at the Curie temperature and are equal to 0.8 – 0.85 K at ΛH = 13.5 kOe. The field dependencies of the magnetization and MCE and the dependence of MCE via magnetization deviates from the classical regularities and describes by the thermodynamic theory attracting the higher terms. Obviously the occurrence of the mixed exchange interactions in these compounds leads to the requirement of consideration both thermal and local fluctuations of the exchange integrals near the magnetic transition temperature.
