High energy Compton spectroscopy and electronic structure of Laves phase ZrFe 2

Curie temperature study of ${{\rm Y(Fe_{1-\it x}} {\rm {Co}_{\it x})_2}}$ and ${{\rm Zr(Fe_{1-\it x}} {\rm {Co}_{\it x})_2}}$ systems using mean field theory and Monte Carlo method

“…Furthermore, YCo 2 alloys with rare-earth elements R 1−x Y x Co 2 (R = Er, Gd) were investigated as magnetocaloric materials for application in magnetic refrigerators [8,9], similar like Er 1−x Zr x Fe 2 alloys [10]. The above efforts are supplemented by a number of theoretical studies of mechanical [11], electronic [12], and magn etic properties [13,14] concerning ZrFe 2 , YCo 2 , and ZrCo 2 compounds. The binary XFe 2 and XCo 2 phases (including X = Y, Zr) have been also investigated theoretically from a permanent magnets perspective [15].…”
