Magnetic losses in V2Zr and V2Hf laves phase compounds

Abstract

Magnetic hysteresis losses in V2Zr and V2Hf Laves phase compounds are investigated. The influence of the geometrical shape, first penetration field and that of the flux creep phenomenon is considered. The hysteresis at static magnetization is calculated for a set of values of the parameter γ describing magnetic induction profile and compared with observed data. The best fit value depends on the ordering state of the sample.

First-principles calculations and thermodynamic modeling of the V–Zr system

“…With superconducting properties at low temperature, V 2 Zr has been widely studied [20][21][22][23] on its structure and physical properties. Concerning thermodynamic properties of V 2 Zr, differential calorimetric measurements were performed by Naskidashvili et al [22] in the region of 80-300 K which is beyond the range of this study and the authors of [22] themselves pointed out that their results did not permit to obtain precise absolute values of heat capacity.…”
