Abstract
The temperature dependence of the static magnetization of polycrystalline rare-earth cobaltite GdCoO3 is measured in the temperature range 2–800 K. The magnetic behaviors of GdCoO3 and Gd3+ are found to be different at temperatures above room temperature, which is caused by the appearance of a contribution from Co3+ ions at high temperatures. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of GdCoO3 is determined by the magnetization of rare-earth gadolinium ions and the additional paramagnetic contribution induced by the thermally excited magnetic terms of Co3+ ions. The LDA + GTB method is used to calculate the electronic structure of GdCoO3 in the temperature range 0–300 K with allowance for strong electron correlations. The energy spectrum of GdCoO3 is found to have intragap states that decrease the dielectric gap width with increasing temperature.
