(symbolized as LS33MO) have been studied by means of Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). By using the heat-bath algorithm and the Ising model up to third nearest neighbor exchange interactions, we have computed the magnetic and magneto-caloric properties. The effects of the temperature (
T
) and the external magnetic field (
h
) on the magnetic behavior of LS33MO have been discussed. The results demonstrate that the Curie temperature (
T
C
) is close to the experimental value. The magnetic entropy shows a maximum value around
T
C
which increases linearly with the rise of the external field
h
. For
h
= 5
T
, the maximum entropy (
∆

) is about 3.67 J K

which is in good agreement with the experimental results. The relative cooling power (RCP) has been estimated and it has been found that it increases with respect to the external field. The predicted critical behavior has been studied by isothermal magnetization of LS33MO nanoparticle compound. The critical exponents (Crt.Exps) are determined by various approaches, such as the modified Arrott plot (AP) and critical isotherm ways. Therefore, the Crt.Exp values obtained by different techniques are
β
= 0.306,
γ
= 1.178, and
δ
= 4.025 respectively. The trustworthiness of the values of the Crt.Exp was approved by the Widom scaling equation and the universal scaling hypothesis. |
