We present a thorough study on the magnetoanisotropic properties and magnetocaloric effect in the layered ferromagnetic Cr 4 Te 5 single crystals by performing the critical behaviour analysis of magnetization isotherms. The critical exponents β =0.485(3), γ=1.202(5), and δ =3.52(3) with a Curie temperature of T C ≈ 340.73(4) K are determined by the modified Arrott plots. We observe a large magnetocrystalline anisotropy K u =330 kJ/m 3 at 3 K which gradually decreases with increasing temperature. Maximum entropy change -∆S max M and the relative cooling power (RCP) are found to be 2.77 J/kg -K and 88.29 J/kg, respectively near T C when the magnetic field applied parallel to ab-plane. Rescaled -∆S M (T, H) data measured at various temperatures and fields collapse into a single universal curve, confirming the second order magnetic transition in this system. Following the renormalization group theory analysis, we find that the spin-coupling is of 3D Heisenberg-type, {d : n} = {3 : 3}, with long-range exchange interactions decaying as J(r) = r -(d+σ ) = r -4.71 .
We identify highly correlated hole pocket on the Fermi surface of colossal thermoelectric material K 0.65 RhO 2 , studied using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations. Most importantly, two kinks at binding energies of 75 and 195 meV have been observed below the Fermi level. While the low-energy kink at 75 meV can be understood as a result of the electron-phonon interaction, the high-energy kink at 195 meV is a discovery of this system, leading to anomalous band renormalization, possibly originated from the bosonic excitations at higher frequencies. We further notice that the high-energy anomaly has important implications on the colossal thermoelectric power of K 0.65 RhO 2 .
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.
