DELUQUE TORO, Críspulo E. et al. Thermodynamic properties, electronic and crystallographic structure, and magnetic response of the Sr 2 HoNbO 6 material. Rev. acad. colomb. cienc. exact. fis. nat. [online]. 2018, vol.42, n.164, pp.180-187. ISSN 0370-3908.  https://doi.org/10.18257/raccefyn.653.

In this work we used the Wien2k code, within the framework of the Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory (DFT), applying the Full-Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave method (FP-LAPW) and adopting the Generalized Gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation energy due to Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof, as well as the Local Density approximation (LDA) for the calculation of the Density of States and band structure of the Sr 2 HoNbO 6 double perovskite. For calculations, we considered the Fmm (#225) space group, which was experimentally obtained from X-ray diffraction measurements and Rietveld refinement. The experimental lattice parameter was 8.018 Å, which is 99.2% in agreement with the theoretical prediction from the minimization of energy through the Murnaghan state equation. From the measurements of magnetic susceptibility as a function of temperature and the adjustment with the Curie law, we obtained a value for the effective magnetic moment of 10.01 μB, which is close to the theoretical expected from Hund’s Rule (10.60 μB). An energy gap of 3.3 eV between the valence band and the conduction band revealed the insulator character of the Sr 2 HoNbO 6 complex perovskite for the spin up configuration, but a semiconductor feature was observed for the spin down polarization, with an energy gap of 0.77 eV. The thermodynamic properties were calculated from the state equation by using the Debye quasiharmonic model. A specific heat behavior of CV≈CP was found at temperatures below T = 500 K, with Dulong-Petit limit values doubling those reported for perovskite materials.
