Thermal hysteretic behaviour of La0.67Ca0.33MuO3

La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 has been reported for the past years as a possible material for magnetocaloric applications. In this circumstance, hysteresis is unappealing due to losses during the thermal cycles. It is usually related with first-order phase transitions and large magnetocaloric effect. In this context, we report thermal hysteresis of single phase La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 characterized by heating and cooling procedures of heat capacity in zero field, magnetic susceptibility and magnetic entropy change.
