Abstract

The La_0.9·0.1MnO_2.9 compound were prepared by sol–gel method with the aim of obtaining a material with interesting magnetocaloric and thermoelectric properties. The prepared material crystallized in rhombohedric system with R-3c space group. In the magnetization vs. temperature graph, it is observed a paramagnetic (PM)-ferromagnetic (FM) transition with a Curie temperature T_C of 209 K. From the fit of hysteresis cycle at 5 K, it is observed that the dominant contribution is ferromagnetic. A magnetic entropy change, calculated from the isothermal magnetization curves, was observed for the sample with a peak centered on T_C. The total electronic density states (TDOS) show the coexistence of metallic behavior for spin-up states and semiconductor characteristic, with a Eg = 1.3 eV, for spin-down states. Thermoelectric properties analysis revealed promising behavior with ZT that assesses the efficacy of a compound in a thermoelectric field, reaching 1.1 at 420 K.

关于漆性 La0.9-0.1 MnO2.9 化合物的磁性、磁致性和热电性能的实验和 DFT 研究

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了La0.9-0.1MnO2.9化合物，旨在获得一种具有有趣的磁致性和热电性能的材料。制备的材料呈斜方晶系，具有 R-3c 空间群。在磁化率与温度关系图中，可以观察到顺磁（PM）-铁磁（FM）转变，居里温度 TC 为 209 K。根据等温磁化曲线计算，样品的磁熵变化峰值以 TC 为中心。总电子密度态（TDOS）显示，自旋上升态具有金属特性，而自旋下降态则具有 Eg = 1.3 eV 的半导体特性。热电性能分析表明，ZT（评估化合物在热电场中的效率）在 420 K 时达到 1.1，表现良好。
