We report the particle size effects on the magnetic and magneto caloric properties of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3 nanoparticles. Raw samples, prepared by the reactive milling method, were annealed at different temperatures to produce samples with particle sizes of 21, 35 and 43 nm. The Curie temperature was found to decrease with increasing of grain size. The decrease in saturation magnetization was attributed...
