Electronic Structure Calculations of Ti doped CeFe2

Abstract

ABSTRACTOver the past years, theoretical and experimental investigations have shown that Ce plays an important role in determining the electronic and magnetic properties in CeFe2- Recent experiments indicate that Ce carries a small moment in contrast to the earlier notion of its being non-magnetic. It is also been found that various additives to the intermetallic CeFe2 alloy behave differently when substituted at the Fe site. The magnetization in some cases remains nearly the same whereas in other cases drops off drastically. We report here the effect of Ti impurity substituted at the Fe site in CeFe2.
