Probing crystal structure at the atomic level: Insights from PAC spectroscopy and ab-initio studies
P. Rocha-Rodrigues, I. P. Miranda, S. S. M. Santos +8
Perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy combined with electronic structure calculations is used to unravel the structural phase transition path from the low-temperat…
Pressure-Induced Phase Transformations of Quasi-2D SrHfO
M. C. B. Barbosa, E. Lora da Silva, P. Neenu Lekshmi +5
We present an \textit{ab-initio} study of the quasi-2D layered perovskite SrHfO com\-pound, performed within the framework of the Density Functional Theory and lattice…
Influence of Thermal Cycling on Giant Magnetocaloric Effect of Gd5Si1.3Ge2.7 Thin Film
A L Pires, J H Belo, I T Gomes +7
In the lifetime of a magnetic refrigerator the materials are subjected to millions of thermal magnetic cycles, so it is of the utmost importance to predict the behavior of such mat…
Influence of short time milling in R5(Si,Ge)4, R =Gd and Tb, magnetocaloric materials
A. L. Pires, J. H. Belo, J. Turcaud +6
The effect of the short milling times on R5(Si,Ge)4 R =Gd, Tb magnetocaloric material properties was investigated. In particular, the effect of milling on atomic structure, particl…
Hyperfine Interactions in MnAs studied by Perturbed Angular Correlations of -Rays using the probe BrSe and first principles calculations for MnAs and other Mn pnictides
J. N. Gonçalves, V. S. Amaral, J. G. Correia +1
The MnAs compound shows a first-order transition at T C, and a second-order transition at T C. The first-order transition, with structural (hexagonal-ort…
Percolative phase transition on ferromagnetic insulator manganites: uncorrelated to correlated polaron clusters
A. M. L. Lopes, J. P. Araujo, J. J. Ramasco +5
In this work, we report an atomic scale study on the ferromagnetic insulator manganite LaMnO using PAC spectroscopy. Data analysis reveals a nanoscopic transition fr…
