This book undertakes an extensive exploration of manganese-based compounds, such as TSrxMnO (T = La, Pr; x = 0.35, 0.25) using density functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations with a focus on understanding their electronic, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties. BaSrxFeO (x = 0, 0.2) is also studied via different approximations, offering a comparative perspective. In addition, the book looks at the influence of magnetism using Monte Carlo simulations, revealing crucial parameters and examining the GdCrO system through DFT and Monte Carlo simulation, shedding light on recent experimental observations. Additionally, Monte Carlo studies investigate magnetic and magnetocaloric features of SrFeMoO, LaSrMnO bilayer manganite, perovskite ferromagnetic thin films' surface effects, and SmFeMnxO perovskite. In essence, this book significantly advances our comprehension of magnetic and magnetocaloric phenomena across diverse materials and is well-suited for both experimentalists and computational researchers working in this field.

Features an extensive exploration of magnetic properties of perovskite materials using DFT and Monte Carlo simulations Gives a detailed comparison of DFT results obtained using GGA, GGA+U, and mBJ approximations Compares recent experimental observations with obtained simulation results
