The effects of sintering temperature (Ts) and chemical substitution on the structural and magnetic properties of manganite compounds La1−xSrxMn1−yFeyO3(0.025≤x≤0.7;y=0.01,0.15) are explored in a search to optimize their magnetocaloric properties around room temperature. A ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM) phase transition is observed at a Curie temperature Tc that can be controlled to approach room temperature by Sr and Fe substitution, but also by adjusting the sintering temperature Ts. Accordingly, the magnetic entropy change (−ΔSM) quantifying the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) presents a peak at or close to Tc that shifts and broadens with both Sr and Fe doping and is further tuned with sintering temperature. Altogether, we show that it is possible to adjust the strength and dominance of the ferromagnetic coupling in these ceramics, but also using disorder as a tool to broaden and adjust the temperature range with a significant magnetic entropy change.
