The electronic, magnetic and optical properties of alkaline earth oxides XO (X = Ca, Sr, Ba) doped with 5d transition metal rhenium (Re) were investigated by applying first-principles calculations within the treatment of density functional theory based on a full potential linearised augmented plane wave method. 5d transition metal atom Re was doped to replace Ca/Sr/Ba atoms with 12.5% concentration to form the supercells. Density of states and band structures predict half-metallic characteristics of the supercells X0.875ORe0.125 (X = Ca, Sr, Ba). Half-metallic band gaps were observed clearly in the spin up majority channel around the Fermi level (EF). Dopant 5d transition metal atom Re creates a spin magnetic moment (μB) in the supercells X0.875ORe0.125 (X = Ca, Sr, Ba). Optical parameters (dielectric function ε(ω), absorption coefficient and reflectivity) were discussed. Materials exhibiting properties like absorption, reflectivity and half-metallic can be applicable for optoelectronics and spintronics devices.
Field experiments were carried out at Mountain Livestock Research Institute (MLRI), Manasbal, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology Kashmir, India to study the direct and residual effect of different rates of organic and chemical sources of nutrients on fodder sorghum-fodder oat cropping sequence during Kharif 2008, 2009 and rabi 2008-09, 2009-10. Application of FYM @ 25tonnes recorded higher green fodder yield of sorghum than rest of treatments. The physical optimum dose of direct+residual effect of FYM on fodder sorghum-fodder oat sequence was 25.49 t ha-1 and economic optimum dose 12.63 t ha-1. Applying 120, 80 and 30 (N, P2O5, K2O kg ha-1) was found superior in green fodder yield than rest of treatments. However, physical optimum dose due to direct +residual effect of N, P2O5 and K2O on fodder sorghum-fodder oat was 134.19 , 67.07 and 33.54 kg ha-1 and mean total economic optimum dose was found to be 128.0, 64.19 and 32.62 NPK kg ha-1 respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
