“…To improve these properties, especially the thermoelectric property, different elements were doped into Mg 2 Si, such as Ag, [ 6 ] B, [ 7 ] Bi, [ 8,9 ] Cu, [ 10 ] Li, [ 11 ] P, [ 12 ] Sb, [ 13,14 ] Y, [ 15 ] rare earth elements, [ 16 ] and codoped strategy. [ 17,18 ] Undoped Mg 2 Si is well known as a nonmagnetic semiconductor. [ 19 ] However, as far as we know, there are few studies on the magnetic properties of doped Mg 2 Si, except for Kim, [ 20 ] Vikram, [ 17 ] Ahmar, [ 21 ] and our group.…”
