Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This article deals with the magnetic and thermal expansion properties of PrFeSi. This compound has been well characterized from the structural point of view by analysing X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. The temperature dependent behaviour of magnetization (M) and the structural parameters (lattice parameters, unit cell volume) suggest that the compound undergoes a second order phase transition from a paramagnetic to a ferromagnetic state at T = 390 K, driven by an increase in bond length between iron atoms at 6c sites. The field-dependent behaviour of M below T, and comparatively lower value of coercivity (H) have been explained by the role of Si atoms as pinning centres. In the ferromagnetic phase, the system is found to behave like an inhomogenous mean field system. The study of thermal expansion properties establishes that the compound is a zero thermal expansion material (α = 5.3 × 10 K) operative in the temperature range T = 200-340 K. As a magnetocaloric material, PrFeSi possesses high RCP (87 J kg at μH = 1.5 T), high operating temperature (390 K) and moderate ΔS.
