Abstrakt: The influence of transition metal oxide (MO) on the structural, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties for La0.45Nd0.25Sr0.3MnO3(LSMO)/ $x$ -wt.% MO (MO = CuO, CoO and NiO) nanocomposite samples has been investigated using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and magnetic measurements. Pure phase nanocomposites were prepared via the one-pot autocombustion method. The XRD patterns of the composite reveal the presence of a distinct pure phase of LSMO and MOs. Temperature-dependent field-cooled magnetization curve exhibits second-order phase transition near room temperature. The isothermal magnetic entropy change ($\Delta S_{M}$) is calculated from magnetic isotherms. LSMO—2.5 wt.% CuO composite—display $\Delta S_{M}\sim -3.95$ J/kg $\cdot \text{K}$ , highest among studied composites, which is 110% higher than LSMO. While the relative cooling power (RCP) values were observed to be maximum for 5 wt.% CoO composite. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
