Abstract
In current report, the structural, magnetic, and thermoelectric properties of RE doped MgPm2X4 (X = S, Se) spinels were investigated. The energy difference in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic states reveals the stability of MgPm2(S/Se)4 in the ferromagnetic states. The computation of enthalpy of formation also ascertains thermodynamic stability of crystal structure. Spin-dependent band structure and density of states analysis reveal ferromagnetic semiconducting character showing different electronic behavior in both spin channels. The room temperature ferromagnetism, spin polarization and Curie temperature are estimated from exchange energies analysis. In addition, exchange constants (N0α and N0β), exchange energy Δx(pd), crystal field energy, and double exchange mechanism were studied to explore the magnetic response. Likewise, the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, Seebeck co-efficient, and power factor show effect on electrons spin and their potential for thermoelectric devices.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Rare Earths reports studies on the 17 rare earth elements. It is a unique English-language learned journal that publishes works on various aspects of basic theory and applied science in the field of rare earths (RE). The journal accepts original high-quality original research papers and review articles with inventive content, and complete experimental data. It represents high academic standards and new progress in the RE field. Due to the advantage of abundant RE resources of China, the research on RE develops very actively, and papers on the latest progress in this field emerge every year. It is not only an important resource in which technicians publish and obtain their latest research results on RE, but also an important way of reflecting the updated progress in RE research field.
The Journal of Rare Earths covers all research and application of RE rare earths including spectroscopy, luminescence and phosphors, rare earth catalysis, magnetism and magnetic materials, advanced rare earth materials, RE chemistry & hydrometallurgy, RE metallography & pyrometallurgy, RE new materials, RE solid state physics & solid state chemistry, rare earth applications, RE analysis & test, RE geology & ore dressing, etc.
