This article deals with the magnetic and thermal expansion properties of Pr2Fe16Si. This compound has been well characterized from the structural point of view by analysing X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The temperature dependent behaviour of magnetization (M) and the structural parameters (lattice parameters, unit cell volume) suggest that the compound undergoes a second order phase transition from a paramagnetic to a ferromagnetic state at TC = 390 K, driven by an increase in bond length between iron atoms at 6c sites. The field-dependent behaviour of M below TC, and comparatively lower value of coercivity (Hc) have been explained by the role of Si atoms as pinning centres. In the ferromagnetic phase, the system is found to behave like an inhomogenous mean field system. The study of thermal expansion properties establishes that the compound is a zero thermal expansion material (αv = 5.3 × 10−6 K−1) operative in the temperature range T = 200–340 K. As a magnetocaloric material, Pr2Fe16Si possesses high RCP (87 J kg−1 at μ0H = 1.5 T), high operating temperature (390 K) and moderate |ΔSM|max.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
