  • Structural analysis of Fe2VAl based full-Heusler alloys using vesta
    Shubham Pushkar, Rajesh Kumar Verma, Bal Govind
    EPJ Web of Conferences, 2026
    Spontaneous orientation of magnetic moments in a particular direction gives rise to strong magnetization called ferromagnetism. The phenomenon of ferromagnetism in magnetic materials has been widely used in order to fabricate the magnetic based devices such as random-access memory, spin valves and spin switches. Although, several difficulties have been found to fabricate these materials due to the evolution swapping and disorder during the fabrication which significantly affects the magnetic behavior in the samples. In order to analyze the swapping, voids and disorders, we report the simulation of X-Ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of Fe 2 VAl full-Heusler alloy with the implantation of swapping between the elements having equivalent electronegativity and atomic size, and substituting other elements at the Fe, V and Al site. First two peaks observed called superlattice peaks in the XRD pattern have been found to be very sensitive even for the small amount of swapping/disorder of the atoms. Therefore, we have plotted the intensity ratio of these two peaks corresponding to the systematic swapping between the atoms. These results suggested that the elements at their respective sites are responsible for the scattering of the X-Ray and scattering factors of any elements depends not only that particular elements but their chemical surrounding also. This study will help to analyze the experimental XRD data with the simulated one along with the swapping/disorder between the atoms up to some extent.
  • A comprehensive review of exchange bias effect in Heusler alloys
    Aftab Alam, Kishun Bir, Ravi Shankar Singh, Bal Govind
    EPJ Web of Conferences, 2026
    Magnetic Heusler alloys have been found to be stable above the room temperature which make it suitable for making magnetic based devices. Exchange biasing associated with the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phase in Heusler alloys used in spintronic devices such as spin valves and spin switches. Shift in the hysteresis loop from the origin gives the extent of exchange biasing. Compensated ferrimagnetism has revealed in several half-Heusler alloys which showed the giant exchange biased effect due to the interaction between ferrimagnetic cluster and compensated host associated with the anti-site disorder. In this report, effect of microstructure, temperature, strain, heat treatment, microstructural, grain size, substitution and doping, interface, dependency of size of spin cluster on the level of exchange biasing have been separately discussed in brief mostly in Ni-Mn based half and full-Heusler alloys. Moreover, transformation from body centred cubic to face centred cubic lattice have also elaborated. Role of richness of elements from their conventional stoichiometry of Heusler alloys has significantly been focused. Entropy has been found to be increased as we move from stoichiometric to non-stoichiometric composition in Heusler alloys. Therefore, this article is focused mainly on exchange biased effect in Heusler based magnetic alloys.
  • Simulation of X-Ray Diffraction Data of Cr-Doped Mn2NiSn System Quaternary Heusler Alloys
    Vaibhav Singh, Gunjan Sharmaa, Roop Chandra, Akhilesh Kumar Upadhyay, Kishun Bira, Bal Govind
    EPJ Web of Conferences, 2026
    Quaternary Heusler alloys have attracted considerable attention due to their structural versatility, tunable magnetic properties, and potential for spintronic applications. Here, we have simulated the X-Ray Diffraction data for systematic substitution of the Mn 2−x Ni 1−x Cr 2x Sn system (0 ≤ x ≤1.0) alloy where substitution of Cr at Ni and Mn site has been employed in Mn 2 NiSn parent cubic structure. Structural analysis through simulated X-ray Diffraction data obtained from Vesta have performed from the ratio of super reflection peaks associated with the cubic phase. Although, XRD data is not reliable for the analysis of swapping of substituted atoms due the equivalent atomic size and electro-negativity between them. Neutron diffraction technique is best suitable for the exact analysis of occupation of elements at their respective site. However, we have found a significant change in the intensity of simulated XRD pattern and hence focused on the highly sensitive peaks. Magnetic properties of these materials have been found to be strongly correlated with the structure, substitution, doping, swapping of elements. Hence, we have particularly focused on the Cr substitution at both Mn and Ni site and noted the change in the intensities of super reflection peaks. Experimental work is currently going on these materials also.
  • XRD simulation through vesta for the associated structure of Co2MnSi and Co2FeSi full-Heusler alloys
    Roop Chandra, Gunjan Sharma, Vaibhav Singh, Akhilesh Kumar Upadhyay, Pushyamitra Mishra, Bal Govind
    EPJ Web of Conferences, 2026
    Among all the full-Heusler alloys, Co 2 MnSi and Co 2 FeSi alloys have been exhibited to be tremendous magnetic behavior such as high magnetic moment, half-metallicity and high Curie temperature. Magnetic moments are found to be highest value for the fully ordered sample and half-metallicity drastically reduces with disorder/swapping of elements. Hence, analysis of disorder/swapping is very trivial for achieving the highest magnetic moment and preserving half-metallicity in such type of alloys. Here, we have simulated the X-Ray Diffraction pattern using Vesta software for parent materials as well as associated with disordered and swapping with other elements. Super reflection peaks obtained from the simulated data are found to be very sensitive even for the small amount of swapping. Therefore, we have plotted the ratio of super reflection peaks and compared with the scattering factor data collected from the NIST, USA. Tetragonal distortion has also been revealed in the cubic structure; hence we have simulated the XRD pattern for the distorted sample also. Scaling of magnetization value have also been calculated from the Slater-Pauling rule and these values have compared with the experimental results available in the literature. This study will help researchers to understand and compare their experimental XRD results with simulated one.
  • Calculation of super reflection peaks of Ni2Mn-based full-Heusler alloy through Vesta software
    Akhilesh Kumar Upadhyay, Vaibhav Singh, Roop Chandra, Gunjan Sharma, Kishun Bir, Bal Govind
    EPJ Web of Conferences, 2026
    Dominant magnetic properties have been shown in Heusler alloys and local magnetic moment have been strongly associated with the Mn and Co based half and full-Heusler based materials. These alloys have exhibited the highest magnetic moment so for in comparison to other alloys, compound and composite materials. Magnetic moments are found to be localized around the atoms subsequently depends on the chemical surrounding of atoms. Limited swapping of atoms lead to significantly reduces the magnetic moment in these alloys. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the extent of swapping of atoms between the alloys. In order to evaluate the effect of replacement of p group element in Ni 2 MnSb, we have used the vesta software and calculated the ratio of super reflection peaks. Moreover, we have also introduced the spontaneous swapping of atoms due to their equivalent electronegativity and atomic size. Spontaneous swapping gives rise to the enhancement/reduction of magnetic moments because magnetic moments are mainly governed by the total valence electron count (VEC) of the substituted elements.

  • Pressure driven polymorphic transitions in nanocrystalline Lu2O3, Tm2O3 and Eu2O3
    Neha Bura, Ankit Bhoriya, Deepa Yadav, Srihari Velaga, Bal Govind, Jasveer Singh, Himanshu Kumar Poswal, Nita Dilawar Sharma
    Scientific Reports, 2023
    The crystallite size of the materials considerably influences the material properties, including their compressibility and resistance to external forces and the stability of the crystalline structure; a corresponding study for which, so far, has been limited for the important class of nanocrystalline Rare Earth Sesquioxides (REOs). In the present study, we report the crystallographic structural transitions in nanocrystalline Rare Earth Oxides (REOs) under the influence of pressure, investigated via high-energy X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) measurements. The study has been carried out on three of the REOs, namely Lutetium oxide (Lu2O3), Thulium oxide (Tm2O3) and Europium oxide (Eu2O3) up to the pressures of 33, 22 and 11 GPa, respectively. The diffraction data of Lu2O3 and Tm2O3 suggests the occurrence of irreversible structural transitions from cubic to monoclinic phase, while Eu2O3 showed a transition from the cubic to hexagonal phase. The transitions were found to be accompanied by a collapse in the volume and the resulting Pressure–Volume (P–V) graphs are fitted with the 3rd order Birch-Murnaghan (BM) equation of state (EOS) to estimate the bulk moduli and their pressure derivatives. Our study establishes a qualitative relationship between the crystallite size and various material properties such as the lattice parameters, transition pressure, bulk modulus etc., and strengthens the knowledge regarding the behaviour of this technologically important class of materials.
  • Sb2Se3 Nanosheet Film-Based Devices for Ultraviolet Photodetection and Resistive Switching

    ACS Applied Nano Materials, 2023
    The development of multifunctional devices could represent a significant advancement in meeting the need for nano and micro technologies. Therefore, we have developed a Ag/Sb 2 Se 3 /FTO-based multifunction device having nanostructures, which works as an ultraviolet (UV) photodetector and a switching device. Our theory suggests how oxygen formation leads to detection in the UV range rather than detection in the infrared range, which is the natural detection range of Sb 2 Se 3 . The m–s–m photodetector device is based on the photoconductive phenomenon, and ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy has been extensively used to investigate the charge carrier dynamics of Sb 2 Se 3 films of 500 nm. At two distinct excitations, 375 nm UV and 532 nm visible light, and a pulse energy of 1 J per pulse, the effect of annealing on the charge carrier relaxation of the films was investigated. The kinetics of the hot charge carrier’s decay and recombination were studied for both as-grown and annealed films. The proposed theory is analyzed with the help of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory studies. The device shows external quantum efficiency values of 2.9 and 1.3 at 375 and 386 nm, respectively. The rise time to fall time ratio was 0.29/0.30 s at 375 nm irradiation at 2 V bias at a power density of 32 mW/cm 2 . The same device shows bipolar resistive switching, in which resistance shifts from a high resistance state to a low resistance state in a voltage sweep from −1 to 0 V and then 0 to 1 V. The result of the switching phenomenon is reasonably justified by the electrochemical metallization phenomenon. An outstanding accomplishment in electronic devices is combining two different features on a single device.
  • Thickness dependent p-n switching in SnSe2/SnOx/SnSe heterojunction-based NO2 gas sensor as well as photodetector
    Sanju Rani, Manoj Kumar, Parveen Garg, Reena Yadav, Yogesh Singh, Ashish Kumar, Bal Govind, Uday Deshpande, Sudhir Hausale, Vidya Nand Singh
    Journal of Science Advanced Materials and Devices, 2023
    SnSe2/SnOx/SnSe heterojunction thin films with different thicknesses 137, 241 and 297 nm were fabricated via the thermal evaporation technique. XRD, FESEM, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, and U–V visible spectroscopy were used to study the structural, morphological, chemical, and optical properties of the deposited thin films, which revealed that the heterojunction thin films had a microcrystalline structure and a mixed SnSe2, SnSe, SnO, and SnO2 phases. Only the sample with the lower thickness (137 nm) exhibited the p-n type behaviour when concentration (1–5 ppm) and temperature (RT-75 °C) increased. Furthermore, the SnSe2/SnOx/SnSe heterojunction thin-film gas sensor demonstrated good NO2 detecting selectivity. The development of SnSe2/SnOx/SnSe p–n junctions at the thin-film surface may be responsible for the improved NO2-sensing capability of the constructed gas sensor at low operating temperatures. For five ppm NO2, the device response was 151% at RT. Response/recovery times were 134/494 s, respectively. The estimated detection limit (LOD) was 515 ppb. NO2 gas had a higher response than SO2, NO, H2S, CO, H2, C2H5OH, and NH3. The mechanism of concentration, temperature-dependent p–n switching, selective detection of NO2 at RT, and complete response and recovery have been deliberated based on physisorption and charge transfer. The lower thickness (137 nm) sample exhibits good photo response in visible light with power (32 mW). It has good responsivity, detectivity and external quantum efficiency. This research will give 2D materials a new dimension of selective gas sensors and photodetection at room temperature.
