The DFT analysis revealed that the energy bandgap and density of states near the Fermi energy (ɛF) decrease with increasing pressure. Additionally, the influence of pressure on the vibrational properties of YHSe is also examined. The findings of the vibrational properties indicate a stiffening of lattice dynamics under pressure and the identification of negative Gruneisen parameters at certain high symmetry sites. This enhances and deepens the understanding of the vibrational characteristics of YHSe under extreme pressure conditions. Finally, the electron–phonon coupling (EPC) parameter (λ) is examined under different pressures. The examination of EPCs across varying pressures showed a significant increase from 0.826 (0 GPa) to 2.6287 (200 GPa), where an increase in this EPC is found to increase the superconducting critical temperature (Tc). Furthermore, the nonmonotonic relationship between the superconducting critical temperature (Tc) and external pressure (P) in the YHSe compound is observed. Initially, Tc decreases with increasing pressure and then begins to rise again, reaching its peak value at extreme pressure. These findings provide valuable insights into the pressure-dependent properties of YHSe and have important implications for the field of superconductivity in condensed matter physics.","PeriodicalId":7382,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Condensed Matter Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141188750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By substituting M atoms at the Ga position of AGaY2 compounds, the magnetic properties were calculated using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method under the generalized gradient approximation and local spin density approximation with the WIEN2K code. The obtained spin-polarized results confirmed the presence of ferromagnetic and half-metallic (HM) properties in AMY2 compounds (A = Cu, Ag; M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn; Y = S, Se), wherein the HM property is preserved through p-d hybridization of p states of Y (S, Se) atoms with d (t2g) states of M (M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn) atoms, and minimal contribution of −s states of A (A = Cu, Ag) atoms. The total magnetic moments for AMY2 compounds were calculated as 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, and 4.00 µB/f.u. for M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, respectively. For AFeY2 compounds (A = Cu, Ag; Y = S, Se), electronic band structures for both up spin and down spin states were identical, suggesting antiferromagnetic behavior at equilibrium, while AScY2 compounds (A = Cu, Ag; Y = S, Se) exhibited nonmagnetic properties at equilibrium. Overall, the accurate HM properties of AMY2 materials suggest promising prospects for their utilization in spintronics and magnetic storage device applications.","PeriodicalId":7382,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Condensed Matter Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141121144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) doped by different concentrations up to 5 wt.% of nanosized Fe2O3 have been prepared (ZIF-8/Fe2O3). The effect of doping ratio 1, 3, and 5 wt.% on the structural and electrochemical properties of ZIF-8/Fe2O3 has been investigated. The structural characterization has been carried out using TGA, BET, XRD, and FTIR. The XRD analysis revealed that the crystalline size of our sample increased by approximately 16% as a result of doping ZIF-8 with 5 wt.% of Fe2O3. The structural analysis of the doped samples revealed that the material exhibited enhanced thermal stability and porosity, with an increase of approximately 105 m2/g. The introduction of doped nanometal oxides improved the capacitance value of ZIF-8 by significantly increasing its surface area. Additionally, the electron transport efficiency within ZIF-8/5 wt.% Fe2O3/electrode is increased. The Nyquist plot decreases as the doping of Fe2O3 increases. This indicates a decrease in the charge transfer resistance at the electrode–electrolyte interface, which is desired in applications such as batteries, fuel cells, or electrochemical sensors where faster electron transfer is needed for improved performance.","PeriodicalId":7382,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Condensed Matter Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140881832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A transition of the europium ion from the valence-stable state of Eu2+ in EuAg2Si2 to the state of intermediate (homogeneous) valence (IV) of the europium ion in EuCu2Si2 with an effective valence ϑeff = 2.41 (300 K) has been initiated by a successive replacement of silver atoms by copper atoms. With appropriate sample compositions, the transition passes through a Kondo-type state. The research subject is the patterns of transformations (when the composition of the sample changes), the electronic state, and, accordingly, the electronic transport properties. The simultaneous coexistence of europium ions in different electronic states is assumed.

An optimized lattice parameter of 5.6, 5.66, and 6.136 Å were calculated for YbS, YbSe, and YbTe, respectively.

In addition, the low band gap (less than 3 eV) for ytterbium chalcogenides indicated that they may have potential applications in photovoltaic cells and laser diodes.

In this study, we present a cost-effective alternative to the platinum electrode for DSSCs, which serves as the counter electrode. The utilization of vanadium oxide nanoparticles as counter electrodes (CEs) in DSSCs has been the subject of research due to its enhanced stability, cost-effectiveness, and favorable photovoltaic characteristics. The device has been fabricated in configuration of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)||TiO2||ruthenium (II) dye (N719)||iodide—triiodide electrolyte||VO2 (counter electrode)||FTO and investigate their photovoltaic performance. The utilization of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis has provided insights into the crystalline properties of VO2, indicating that it exists in a crystalline phase with a crystalline size measuring 43.19 nm and a lattice strain of 1.68 × 10−3. The utilization of a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) that is equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrum reveals a dense microstructure characterized by a uniform distribution of vanadium (V) and oxygen (O) across the whole surface. The Raman spectroscopic examination of VO2 reveals the existence of many Raman bands, thereby confirming the presence of the monoclinic phase. Cyclic voltammetry measurements were employed to investigate the catalytic activity of the CE toward the electrolyte. The photovoltaic performance of the manufactured device was examined by I–V measurement, revealing a notable open circuit voltage (Voc) and efficient power conversion efficiency when compared to the other materials that were evaluated.","PeriodicalId":7382,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Condensed Matter Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139477144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
