Popis: Generalized gradient approximation (GGA) exchange-correlation functional was used in the first-principles method to calculate thermal emittance of La 1− x Sr x MnO 3 (LSMO). The effects of structure and magnetism on thermal emittance of LSMO were systematically investigated by the complex dielectric function. It is found that the LSMO with orthorhombic structure has a higher thermal emittance than that with rhombohedral structure at the same temperature. When the magnetism varying with temperature of LSMO is put into consideration, the magnetic different make a significant change on thermal emittance and the variation of thermal emittance of La 0.75 Sr 0.25 MnO 3 is the biggest among x =0, 0.2, 0.25, 0.5. It is found that thermal emittance have a low value at the low temperature and have a high value at the high temperature, due to the unique feature of variable thermal emittance based on metal-insulator transition, which makes LSMO attractive as potential thermal control materials.
