The effects of A-site cation size mismatch on La0.7 - xNdxCa0.3 - y(Ba,Sr)(y)MnO3 perovskite materials with a constant A-site average ionic radius ⟨r(A)⟩ = 1.2052 angstrom have been investigated. Polycrystalline samples have been prepared through the standard solid-state reaction method at high temperatures, and their structures, magnetic properties, and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) have been investigated in detail. X-ray diffraction patterns show that all of the samples crystallized in an orthorhombic structure with the space group Pnma. XPS analysis confirmed the Mn3+/Mn4+ ratio remained constant as sigma(2) was varied. Meanwhile, upon increasing sigma(2) from 0.0002 to 0.007, the Curie temperature (T-C) decreased linearly from 254 K to 108 K. Based on M-H isotherms, Arrott plots and the maximum magnetic entropy prove a crossover of first-to-second-order transition with increasing sigma(2). Samples with sigma(2) = 0.0002, 0.001, and 0.003 exhibited a first-order transition and had larger MCEs than those showing a second-order transition.
