AB - The magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of chemically single-phase polycrystalline Pr<inf>0.6</inf>Ca<inf>0.4</inf>MnO<inf>3</inf> compound have been systematically investigated. The compound exhibits a sequence of complex magnetic transitions with decreasing temperature, including charge ordering phenomenon around T<inf>CO</inf>∼240 K and antiferromagnetic ordering at T∼170 K. At lower temperatures, a canted antiferromagnetic state emerges (T<50 K), significantly influencing the magnetocaloric response. The instability of the antiferromagnetic phase and the nucleation of ferromagnetic regions make the magnetic state highly sensitive to external perturbations, particularly in the low-temperature regime. Furthermore, an anomalous behavior in the metamagnetic transition field has been observed at low temperatures, highlighting the intricate nature of the magnetic interactions in this system.
