Can anybody please suggest some references (preferably review articles or lecture notes etc, freely available online) for learning linear and nonlinear sigma models and their applications in particle physics?

A way to start can be the book Gauge Theory of Elementary Particle Physics by Cheng and Li. It has a nice chapter about Chiral Symmetry which introduces the linear Sigma model, than there is a supplementary book to it (Problems and Solutions) which has a few things about both the linear and nonlinear Sigma model.

I have a few lecture notes on it at

http://www.physics.wayne.edu/~ablechman/eft/Homework_and_Lecture_Notes_files/lectures.pdf

see chapter 2 in particular. it might not be what you're looking for but maybe it would help. also "Dynamics of the Standard Model" by Donohue, Golowich and Holstein has a LOT on it, that's probably the best reference I know of.
