Magnetoelectronic, Optical, and Thermoelectric Properties of Perovskite Materials (eBook)

This book undertakes an extensive exploration of manganese-based compounds, such as T1??SrxMnO3 (T = La, Pr; x = 0.35, 0.25) using density functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations with a focus on understanding their electronic, magnetic, and magnetocaloric properties. Ba1??SrxFeO3 (x = 0, 0.2) is also studied via different approximations, offering a comparative perspective. In addition, the book looks at the influence of magnetism using Monte Carlo simulations, revealing crucial parameters and examining the GdCrO3 system through DFT and Monte Carlo simulation, shedding light on recent experimental observations. Additionally, Monte Carlo studies investigate magnetic and magnetocaloric features of Sr2FeMoO6, La2SrMn2O7 bilayer manganite, perovskite ferromagnetic thin films' surface effects, and SmFe1??MnxO3 perovskite. In essence, this book significantly advances our comprehension of magnetic and magnetocaloric phenomena across diverse materials and is well-suited for both experimentalists and computational researchers working in this field.
