The aim of this work is the study of the physical properties on the electronic structure of the
cubic MgCu 2-type binary Laves phases PrCo 2 and PrFe 2 compounds. The density …

First-principle calculations combining density functional theory and the full-potential
linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method are performed to investigate the …

The elastic, magnetic, and structural properties of PrX 2 (X= Fe, Mn, Co) alloys, of the cubic
Laves structure (MgCu 2), have been evaluated by first-principles density functional theory …

Nanocrystalline PrCo 3 powder has been synthesized by high-energy milling and was
subsequently annealed from 873 to 1273 K for 30 min to optimize the extrinsic properties …

In a study of the magnetic properties of compounds with compositions close to Y 2 Ni 7 it
was found that varying the nickel content leads to relatively strong changes in the saturation …

Neutron inelastic scattering experiments have been performed on polycrystalline samples of
the cubic Laves phase compounds PrX 2 (X= Pt, Rh, Ir, Ni). Measurements in the …
