Popis: Manganites are one of only a small number of material families currently being trialled as room temperature magnetic refrigerants. Here we examine the dependence of the thermal conductivity, K, of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3+/-�� as a function of density, grain size and silver impregnation around room temperature. We use a simple effective medium model to extract relevant trends in the data and demonstrate a threefold increase in thermal conductivity by silver impregnation.
