Ternary rare earth metal alloys (viz. GdInZn, GdTlZn and GdInCd) play a key role
in a large range of current research areas, in particular those devoted to heavy fermions,
valence fluctuations, magneto-strictive materials, permanent-magnet materials, spin glasses
and random anisotropy systems. Thus, to understand the relevant complex behavior of
Gd/M/M1, M=In, Tl; M1 = Zn, Cd compounds (viz. GdInZn, GdInCd and GdTlZn), in the
present research article, we have been carried out the theoretical investigations on electronic,
magnetic and thermodynamic characteristics of Gd/M/M1 type compounds in the hexagonal
P63/mmc phase using density functional theory (DFT).
Keywords: structural properties, electronic structure, magnetic properties, thermodynamic properties |
