Abstract

Rare-earth transition metal-based double perovskite ceramics E2TMO6 (where E = rare-earth metals, T = transition metals, and M = metal) have received impressive attention lately for cryogenic applications as a result of their intrinsic physical features such as multiferroicity, dielectric features, and adjustable magnetic transition temperature. However, determination and enhancement of magnetic transition temperature of E2TMO6 ceramic are subject to experimental procedures and processes with a significant degree of difficulties and cumbersomeness. This work proposes an extreme learning machine (ELM)-based intelligent method of determining magnetic transition temperature of E2TMO6 ceramics with activation function sigmoid (SM) and sine (SE) at varying magnetic field. The outcomes of the SE-ELM and SM-ELM models were compared with genetically optimized support vector regression (GEN-SVR) predictive models using RMSE, CC, and MAE metrics. Using the testing samples of E2TMO6 ceramics, SE-ELM predictive model outperforms GEN-SVR with a superiority of 6.3% (using RMSE metric) and 15.7% (using MAE metric). The SE-ELM predictive model further outperforms the SM-ELM model, with an improvement of 5.3%, using CC computed with training ceramic samples. The simplicity of the employed descriptors, coupled with the outstanding performance of the developed predictive models, would potentially strengthen E2TMO6 ceramics exploration for low-temperature cryogenic applications and circumvent energy challenges in different sectors.
