We report the magnetic properties of EuxCa1-xB6 single crystals (0.756x1) studied in the wide range of temperatures (1.8-300 K) and magnetic fields (up to 50 kOe). It was found that low field magnetic susceptibility χ (T) follows the Curie-Weiss law χ~(T-Θp)-1 at high temperatures for all the concentrations studied. The effective magnetic moment of the Eu2+ ion estimated from the data diminishes from the free ion value μeff7.93μB (μB - Bohr magneton) for x=1 to μeff7.3μB for x=0.756. A universal behavior of magnetic susceptibility χ~(T-Θ)-α (α=1.5) is detected close to the Curie temperature TC in the paramagnetic state at both metallic (x>xC~0.8) and dielectric (xC.

Recently, high performance lead-free piezoelectric materials are strongly demanded for environmental issues. (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 (KNN) has been attracting interest as lead-free piezoelectric ceramics because of its high Curie temperature and excellent piezoelectric properties. In this study, we investigated effects of Li addition on piezoelectric properties of (Li,Na,K)(Nb+Ta)O3+CuO,BaTiO3 . We found that optimum Li ratio of A site and B site on the perovskite structure increases relative density and .
