Magnetotransport properties and magnetocaloric effect of (La0.7Ba0.3MnO3)1-x/(Al2O3)x composites have been investigated through their theoretical and experimental studies. The Al2O3 addition increases the resistivity, showing up a crossover from 3D Mott to the soft gap variable range hopping (VRH). The relative cooling power of LBMO matrix (~98.77 Jkg−1, H = 2 T) is approximately 65 percentage of that of pure Gd ...
