We have carried out magnetization, heat capacity, electrical and magnetoresistance measurements (2-300 K) for the polycrystalline form of intermetallic compounds, R2RhSi3 (R= Gd, Tb, and Dy), forming in a AlB2 derived hexagonal structure…
We report the synthesis of the entire $Ln$AuAl$_4$Ge$_2$ ($Ln$ = Y, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm) series and focus on the magnetic properties of GdAuAl$_4$Ge$_2$ and TbAuAl$_4$Ge$_2$. Temperature and magnetic field dependent…
We have investigated the two rare-earth intermetallic compounds PrPd$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ and PrPt$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ by means of magnetization, electrical resistivity and heat capacity measurements. While PrPd$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ exhibits an…
We explore the impact of introducing IIIA-group element Ga in place of IIB-group element Zn in binary intermetallic GdZn on its magnetic and magnetocaloric properties, as well as explicate the modified electronic band structure of the…
A multi-stimuli cooling cycle can be used to increase the cyclic caloric performance of multicaloric materials like Ni-Mn-In Heusler alloys. However, the use of a uniaxial compressive stress as an additional external stimulus to a magnetic…
We report a detailed dc magnetization, ac susceptibility and magnetocaloric properties of a binary intermetallic compound Tb5Pd2. Our dc magnetization and heat capacity results reveal absence of long range ordering in this compound. Two…
Over the last two decades, the research activities on magnetocalorics have been exponentially increased leading to the discovery of a wide category of materials including intermetallics and oxides. Even though the reported materials were…
The magnetization around the superconducting transition was measured in YBa2Cu3O7-d with magnetic impurities in the CuO2 layers (Cu substituted by Zn or Ni) or between them (Y substituted by Gd or Pr). While some of these impurities have an…
Earlier a magnetic anisotropy for magnetic impurities nearby the surface of non-magnetic host was proposed in order to explain the size dependence of the Kondo effect in dilute magnetic alloys. Recently Giordano has measured the…
We studied the stable magnetic structure of ordered Nd$_{6}$Fe$_{14-x}$Ga$_x$ ($x = 0, 1)$ alloys, which appears in the grain-boundary (GB) phase of Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets, using first-principles techniques. Slight Ga doping ($x = 1$)…
The competition between magnetic ordering and the Kondo effect in Ce2RhSi3, ordering antiferromagnetically at 7 K, is investigated by the measurements of magnetization, heat capacity and electrical resistivity on the solid solutions,…
Magnetization, magnetoresistance, and magnetodielectric measurements have been carried out on the half doped charge ordered manganite, Pr_0.5Ca_0.5MnO_3. The low temperature state is found to be strongly dependent on the oxygen…
We report the synthesis and properties of two new insulating phases of SrFeO3-d with introduction of oxygen deficiencies in metallic SrFeO3 ; one with 0.15 < d < 0.19 (sample A)and the other above d = 0.19 (sample B). Sample A shows large…
The compounds, PrCo9Si4 and NdCo9Si4, have been recently reported to exhibit first-order ferromagnetic transitions near 24 K. We have subjected this compound for further characterization by magnetization, heat-capacity and electrical…
Magnetization, resistivity and specific heat measurements were performed on the solution-grown, single crystals of six GdT$_2$Zn$_{20}$ (T = Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh and Ir) compounds, as well as their Y analogues. For the Gd compounds, the Fe…
Magnetic refrigeration based on the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of materials is a potential technique that has prominet advantages over the currently used gas compression-expansion technique in the sense of its high efficiency and…
R2BaMO5 (R = Gd, Y and M = Cu, Zn) oxides have been studied by specific heat, dc magnetic susceptibility, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). For one member of the series without magnetic moment at M, namely Gd2BaZnO5, measurements…
We undertook investigations in polycrystalline R(x)R'(1-x)Al(2) alloys, in particular, explored the stoichiometries, Nd(0.8)Gd(0.2)Al(2) and Nd(0.8)Tb(0.2)Al(2), to study the magnetic compensation behavior in them in the context of…
It is shown that ferromagnetic ordering in metals is associated with an opening of the energy pseudogap. This energy pseudogap belongs to a d-band type in d-metals and to an sp-band type in f-metals. A relation between the magnetic energy…
The article discusses selected properties of the non- and superconducting polycrystalline samples of RuSr2GdCu2O8 and comments the consequences of introducing insignificant sub-stoichiometry of Ru into the nominal formula. The…
