Abstract
In my poster, I will discuss the preparation and study of single crystals of PrGaSi grown using a molten-metal flux technique. I measured their magnetization and electrical resistivity to explore how praseodymium atoms influence the material’s properties. The data reveal temperature-dependent changes that highlight the relationship between atomic structure, magnetism, and electrical conduction. This research improves our understanding of rare-earth compounds and their potential use in future electronic and magnetic applications.
This project was carried out under the guidance of Dr. Chetan Dhital at Kennesaw State University with the support from Department of Energy Grant (DE-SC 0025735).
