Popis: (1 − x) La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /xNaF (x = 0.05, 0.15, 0.2) composites were synthesized by the conventional solid-state synthesis route, while the sodium fluoride NaF was added to the stoichiometric amount of La 2 O 3 , SrC O 3 and Mn 2 O 3 , that allowed to reduce the synthesis temperature of composites in respect to the pure lanthanum strontium manganite. The phase purity and microstructures of composites were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Magnetocaloric effect was investigated by means of field dependence magnetization measurements. The significant affect of the additive NaF to the final size and morphology of (1 − x) La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 /xNaF composite samples was observed. Though the high-concentration samples (x = 0.15, 0.2) exhibit the lower magnetic entropy changes Δ S M in respect to the pure La 0.7 Sr 0.3 MnO 3 , the expanded temperature dependence of Δ S M curves leads to the slightly higher values of the relative cooling power.
