Magnetocaloric effect and magnetic ordering in GdFe_1−xT_xSi, T = Cr, V, Ni

Abstract

Changes in the Curie temperature, TC (), of GdFe1−xTxSi, T = Cr, V, Ni, can be caused by the corresponding changes in the density of states (DOS) () at the Fermi level (EF). The electronic structure, magnetic ordering and moments of GdFe1−xTxSi, T = Cr, V, Ni, are calculated using the DFT+U method.
