The structure, magnetic properties, and magnetocaloric effect of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 ceramics with different particle sizes have been investigated. It is found that the Curie temperature increases first, and then decreases as particle size decreases and the type of magnetic phase transition changes from first-order to second-order, which may be attributed to surface pressure effects. The maximum magnetic entropy change -Delta S-M(max) and relative cooling power (RCP) show non-monotonic behaviors with decreasing the particle size. However, for the 3400 nm sample, the magnetic entropy change -Delta S-M reaches the maximum values of 6.41 and 8.63 J/kg K for the field changes of 2.0 and 4.5 T, respectively. Furthermore, the estimated large RCP values under lower magnetic fields in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 are comparable with those of typical magnetic refrigerant materials in the corresponding temperature range, suggesting those compounds might be promising candidates for magnetic refrigeration.
