Effect of Cerium Doping on Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of La<sub>1&minus;</sub><i><sub>y</sub></i>Ce<i><sub>y</sub></i>Fe<sub>11.44</sub>Si<sub>1.56</sub> Compounds

Abstract: Crystal structure and magnetic properties of Cerium-doped La 1¹y Ce y Fe 11.44 Si 1.56 ( y = 0.0 ¹ 0.3) compounds are reported. The compounds possess the NaZn 13 -type cubic structure with ferromagnetic arrangement. The substitution of Ce into the host lattice slightly decreased the lattice constant from 1.1477 to 1.1471 ¡, and as the doping content increased, the saturation magnetization and Curie temperature of the samples were also reduced. A large value of the magnetic entropy change ¦S m was observed at l… Show more

“…On the other hand, when Fe was replaced by Co, the TC value increased and MCE significantly reduced [16]. The replacement of La by other rare earth elements such as Pr, Nd, Ce, Er resulted that the Curie temperature decreased but the MCE increased slightly [17][18][19]. During the sample preparation process, a small amount of La usually evaporates due to its low melting point.…”

“…Knowing that the large band gap of BaZrO 3 can be tuned to tailor its applications in the UV and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectra, doping with isovalent rare-earth atoms having ionic radii comparable to Ba or Zr in BaZrO 3 provides unique opportunities for improving the photocatalytic performance of barium zirconate . In this context, similar charge states and minor difference between the ionic radii of Zr 4+ (0.72 Å) ion and Ce 4+ (0.87 Å) ion reveal that cerium would be easily accommodated at a Zr site of BaZrO 3 lattice . Importantly, the unique property of Ce 4+ ion to become Ce 3+ by absorbing a photogenerated electron can be highly beneficial for increasing its photocatalytic performance.…”

“…24 In this context, similar charge states and minor difference between the ionic radii of Zr 4+ (0.72 Å) ion and Ce 4+ (0.87 Å) ion reveal that cerium would be easily accommodated at a Zr site of BaZrO 3 lattice. 25 Importantly, the unique property of Ce 4+ ion to become Ce 3+ by absorbing a photogenerated electron can be highly beneficial for increasing its photocatalytic performance. Hence, tuning the optical properties of large-band-gap BaZrO 3 by doping Ce 4+ ion at the Zr site can satisfy the requisites of a photocatalyst suitable for both sonophotocatalysis and sonocatalysis processes.…”
