Calculation of Half-Metal, Debye and Curie Temperatures of Co_2 VAl Compound: First Principles Study

By FP-LAPW calculations, the structural, elastic, Debye and Curie temperatures, electronic and magnetic properties of Co2 VAl are investigated. The results indicate that Ferromagnetic （FM） phase is more stable than Anti- Ferromagnetic （AFM） and Non-magnetic （NM） ones. In addition, C11-C12 〉 0, C44 〉 0, and B 〉 0 so Co2 VAl is an elastically stable material with high Debye temperature. Also, the BIG ratio exhibits a ductility behavior. The relatively high Curie temperature provides it as a favorable material for spintronic application. It＇s electronic and magnetic properties are studied by GGA ＋U approach leading to a 100% spin polarization at Fermi level.

Controllable high Curie temperature through 5d transition metal atom doping in CrI_(3)

Two-dimensional(2D) CrI_(3) is a ferromagnetic semiconductor with potential for applications in spintronics. However,its low Curie temperature(T_(c)) hinders realistic applications of CrI3. Based on first-principles calculations, 5d transition metal(TM) atom doping of CrI_(3)(TM@CrI_(3)) is a universally effective way to increase T_(c), which stems from the increased magnetic moment induced by doping with TM atoms. T_(c) of W@CrI_(3) reaches 254 K, nearly six times higher than that of the host CrI_(3). When the doping concentration of W atoms is increased to above 5.9%, W@CrI_(3) shows room-temperature ferromagnetism. Intriguingly, the large magnetic anisotropy energy of W@CrI_(3) can stabilize the long-range ferromagnetic order. Moreover, TM@CrI_(3) has a strong ferromagnetic stability. All TM@CrI_(3) change from a semiconductor to a halfmetal, except doping with Au atom. These results provide information relevant to potential applications of CrI_(3) monolayers in spintronics.

On a Heuristic Point of View about the Generalization of Curie Law to Cosmic Higgs Fields with the Casimir Effect

Condensed state physics demonstrates that the Curie temperature is the point at which spontaneous magnetization drops to zero, marking the critical transition where ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic materials transform into paramagnetic substances. Below the Curie temperature, a material remains ferromagnetic;above it, the material becomes paramagnetic, with its magnetic field easily influenced by external magnetic fileds. For example, the Curie temperature of iron (Fe) is 1043 K, while that of neodymium magnets ranges from 583 to 673 K. From both physics and mathematics perspectives, examining the temperature properties of materials is essential, as it provides valuable insights into their electromagnetic and thermodynamic behaviors. This paper makes a bold assumption and, for the first time, carefully verifies the existence of a Casimir temperature at 0.00206 K under conditions of one-atomic spacing.

Piezoelectric properties of low loss and high Curie temperature (Bi, La)FeO_3-Pb(Ti, Mn)O_3 ceramics with Mn doping

Piezoelectric ceramics of 0.6(Bi0.9La0.1)FeO3-0.4Pb(Ti1-xMnx)O3 (BLF-PTM) for x=0, 0.01, 0.02, and 0.03 were prepared by sol-gel process combined with a solid-state reaction method. The tan? for BLF-PTM of x=0.01 is just 0.006 at 1 kHz, drastically decreasing by using Mn dopants. The TC increases to 490 ℃ for BLF-PTM of x=0.02. Furthermore, Mn modification effectively enhances the poling state and the piezoelectric properties of BLF-PTM. The kp, Qm, d33, and g33 of 0.34, 403, and 124 pC1·N-1 and 37×10-3 Vm·N-1 are achieved for BLF-PTM of x=0.01. The results indicate that Mn modified BLF-PTM is a competitive high power and high temperature piezoelectric material with excellent piezoelectric properties.

Magnetic properties and magnetic entropy changes of La（Fe_（1-x）Mn_x）_（11.5）Si_（1.5）H_y compounds are investigated. Their Curie temperatures are adjusted to room temperature by partial Mn substitution for Fe and hydrogen absorption in 1-atm（1 atm = 1.01325×10~5Pa） hydrogen gas. Under a field change from 0 T to 2 T, the maximum magnetic entropy change for La（Fe_（0.99）Mn_（0.01））_（11.5）Si_（1.5）H_（1.61）is-11.5 J/kg. The suitable Curie temperature and large value of ？S_m make it an attractive potential candidate for the room temperature magnetic refrigeration application.

ANOMALOUS EFFECT OF PRESSURE ON THE CURIE TEMPERATURE IN MECHANICALLY ALLOYED Fe-Ni INVAR

Measurements of magnetic susceptibility in mechanically alloyed Fe-Ni Invar alloys were taken under pressures up to 7.5GPa. The rate of decrease in the Curie temperature for 700℃ annealed specimen was larger than that annealed at 1000℃. This result can be explained by considering the fact that the width of the concentration fluctuation becomes larger in the specimen annealed at lower temperature.

MAGNETIC MOMENT,CURIE TEMPERATURE AND SPIN WAVE EXCITATION FOR AMORPHOUS Fe_(90-x)Si_xZr_(10) ALLOYS

The magnetization curves at 1.5 K and thermomagnetic curves for amorphous Fe_(90-x)Si_xZr_(10)(x=0,4,7 and 10)alloys prepared by the drum spinning technique have been measured with an extracting sample magnetometer.It is obtained that the average magnetic moment,,per magnetic atom and Curie temperature,T_c,in the amorphous FeSiZr alloys increase with increasing Si content.The and T_c are found to be quite small,compared with amorphous FeSiB alloys.This unusual behavior is suggested to be due to the presence of the Fe—Fe antiferromagnetic interactions.The temperature dependence of magnetization at lower temperature is in accordance with Bloch's T^(3/2) law.Calculation shows that the spin wave stiffness constant,D,increases with increasing Si content from 0.37 meV·nm^2 for x=0 to 0.538 meV·nm^2 for x=10.The values of<r^2>indicate that the range of the exchange interaction is roughly the mean atomic distance of nearest neighbours.

Influence of Non-Magnetic Substitutional Atoms on Spontaneous Moment and Curie Temperature of Ce_2Co_(17) Compounds

The structure and magnetic properties of Ce 2Co 17-xM x(M=Ga,Al and Si) compounds for M concentrations up to x=5 were studied by means of X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The experimental results show that the Curie temperatures and Co spontaneous magnetization decrease significantly with increasing the addition of non-magnetic substitutional atoms, and that Si which has a minimum solid solubility in Ce 2Co 17 causes a largest reduction of Curie temperature, spontaneous magnetization and moment per Co atom compared with Ga and Al.

Curie Temperature of the Intergranular Amorphous Phase in Nanocrystalline Fe_(89)Zr_7B_4 Alloy

The FeZrB amorphous alloys for simulating the intergranular amorphous phase in the nanocrystalline Fe 89 Zr 7B 4 soft magnetic materials were obtained by mechanical alloying of a mixture of elemental Fe, Zr and B powders for 25 h. It is shown that the Curie temperature of the simulated intergranular phase alloy is much lower than that of the intergranular phase with the same chemical composition in the nanocrystalline Fe 89 Zr 7B 4 alloy. The possible mechanism is mainly due to the strong ferromagnetic exchange force among the nanocrystalline α Fe grains.

Properties of ferroelectric xBiInO3-（1-x）PbTiO3（xBI-（1-x）PT） thin films deposited on（101） SrRuO3/（200）Pt/（200） MgO substrates by rf magnetron sputtering method and effects of deposition conditions are investigated.The structures of the xBI-（1-x）PT films are characterized by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.The results indicate that the thin films are grown with mainly（001） orientation. The chemical compositions of the films are analyzed by scanning electron probe and the results indicate that the loss phenomena of Pb and Bi elements depend on the pressure and temperature during the sputtering process.The sputtering parameters including target composition, substrate temperature, and gas pressure are adjusted to obtain optimum sputtering conditions. To decrease leakage currents,2 mol% La2 O3 is doped in the targets. The P-E hysteresis loops show that the optimized xBI-（1-x）PT（x = 0.24） film has high ferroelectricities with remnant polarization2 Pr = 80μC/cm2 and coercive electric field 2 EC = 300 kV/cm. The Curie temperature is about 640℃. The results show that the films have optimum performance and will have wide applications.

Curie Temperature of Amorphous Fe-Si-B and Fe-W-Si-B Alloys

オhe effects of composition, annealing temperature and time, annealing heating rate on the Curie temperature of amorphous FeSiB and FeWSiB alloys were studied. The results indicate that the Curie temperature of these alloys increases with the increase of the metalloid content when it is <25 at%, then decreases with the further increase of the metalloid content. For amorphous FeSiB and FeWSiB alloys with the low metalloid content, the Curie temperature increases with the annealing temperature and the annealing time. However, for the amorphous FeWSiB alloys with the high metalloid content, the Curie temperature increases at low annealing temperature and with short annealing time, and decreases at high annealing temperature and with long annealing time. The heating rate in measuring Curie temperature also influences the Curie temperature of the alloys. The Curie temperature is higher at lower heating rates.

X-ray diffraction analysis shows the presence of α-Fe and Fe3B phases in the samples with x < 0.1 and the presence of α-Fe, Nd2Fe14B and Fe2B phases in the samples with x > 0.1. The magnetic measurement shows that Curie temperutures of Fe3B and Nd2Fe14B phases decrease with increasing Cr content. The influence of the substitution of Cr for Fe was discussed.

Based on lots of experiments, an experimential formula to determine was given out.

Physics-embedded machine learning search for Sm-doped PMN-PT piezoelectric ceramics with high performance

Pb(Mg_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_(3)–PbTiO_(3)(PMN-PT)piezoelectric ceramics have excellent piezoelectric properties and are used in a wide range of applications.Adjusting the solid solution ratios of PMN/PT and different concentrations of elemental doping are the main methods to modulate their piezoelectric coefficients.The combination of these controllable conditions leads to an exponential increase of possible compositions in ceramics,which makes it not easy to extend the sample data by additional experimental or theoretical calculations.In this paper,a physics-embedded machine learning method is proposed to overcome the difficulties in obtaining piezoelectric coefficients and Curie temperatures of Sm-doped PMN-PT ceramics with different components.In contrast to all-data-driven model,physics-embedded machine learning is able to learn nonlinear variation rules based on small datasets through potential correlation between ferroelectric properties.Based on the model outputs,the positions of morphotropic phase boundary(MPB)with different Sm doping amounts are explored.We also find the components with the best piezoelectric property and comprehensive performance.Moreover,we set up a database according to the obtained results,through which we can quickly find the optimal components of Sm-doped PMN-PT ceramics according to our specific needs.

A diluted magnetic 4H-SiC has been prepared by implanting Fe ions into the substrate. Its Curie temperature reaches as high as 320K and its technology is compatible with current IC. Moreover, the process includes three annealing steps,named HNH annealing in this paper. Each step during this annealing has been analyzed. Comparisons have been made with different Fe concentrations and experimental results demonstrate that when the concentration of Fe is 0. 051, the Curie temperature is the highest. According to measurements, some explanation of this phenomenon is given.

A series of La0.7-xSmxSr0.3MnO3, La0.7-xGdxSr0.3MnO3, and La0.7-xDyxSr0.3MnO3 （x=0.00, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30） samples were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The influence of the substitution of Sm, Gd, and Dy for La on the magnetic and electric properties and on the magnetoresistance （MR） was studied through measurements of M-T curves and p-T curves. The results showed that： lattice distortion induced by substitution of Sm, Gd, and Dy for La and extra magnetism of substitution had great influence on the magnetic and electric properties of pcrovskite manganites; substitution of magnetic rare earth element for La was an effective way to change Curie temperature and to strengthen MR in perovskite manganites; and appropriate substitution proportion would generate large MR near room temperature.

Correlation between valence electronic structure and magnetic properties in RCo_5(R=rare earth) intermetallic compound

The magnetisms of RCo5（R = rare earth） intermetallics are systematically studied with the empirical electron theory of solids and molecules（EET）.The theoretical moments and Curie temperatures agree well with experimental ones.The calculated results show strong correlations between the valence electronic structure and the magnetic properties in RCo5 intermetallic compounds.The moments of RCo5 intermetallics originate mainly from the 3d electrons of Co atoms and 4f electrons of rare earth,and the s electrons also affect the magnetic moments by the hybridization of d and s electrons.It is found that moment of Co atom at 2c site is higher than that at 3g site due to the fact that the bonding effect between R and Co is associated with an electron transformation from 3d electrons into covalence electrons.In the heavy rare-earth-based RCo5 intermetallics,the contribution to magnetic moment originates from the 3d and 4f electrons.The covalence electrons and lattice electrons also affect the Curie temperature,which is proportional to the average moment along the various bonds.

Curie temperature TC obtained from AC susceptibility data decreases with increasing x.

Superflexible and Lead-Free Piezoelectric Nanogenerator as a Highly Sensitive Self-Powered Sensor for Human Motion Monitoring

For traditional piezoelectric sensors based on poled ceramics,a low curie tem-perature(T_(c))is a fatal flaw due to the depolarization phenomenon.However,in this study,we find the low T_(c) would be a benefit for flex-ible piezoelectric sensors because small alterations of force trig-ger large changes in polarization.BaTi_(0.88)Sn_(0.12)O_(3)(BTS)with high piezoelectric coefficient and low T_(c) close to human body temperature is taken as an example for materials of this kind.Continuous piezo-electric BTS films were deposited on the flexible glass fiber fabrics(GFF),self-powered sensors based on the ultra-thin,superflexible,and polarization-free BTS-GFF/PVDF composite piezoelectric films are used for human motion sensing.In the low force region(1-9 N),the sensors have the outstanding performance with voltage sensitivity of 1.23 V N^(−1) and current sensitivity of 41.0 nA N^(−1).The BTS-GFF/PVDF sensors can be used to detect the tiny forces of falling water drops,finger joint motion,tiny surface deformation,and fatigue driving with high sensitivity.This work provides a new paradigm for the preparation of superflexible,highly sensitive and wearable self-powered piezoelectric sensors,and this kind of sensors will have a broad application prospect in the fields of medical rehabilitation,human motion monitoring,and intelligent robot.
