Abstract A large magnetic entropy change about twice as high as that of pure gadolinium metal near room temperature has been discovered in manganese perovskites La0.837Ca0.098Na0.038Mn0.987O3.00(8.3 J.kg-1.K-1, at 256K) and La0.822Ca0.096K0.043Mn0.974O3.00 (6.8 J.kg-1.K-1, at 265 K) under a magnetic field of 1.5 T. This phenomenon indicates that manganese perovskites have potential applications for magnetic refrigerants in an extended temperature range even near room temperature.
