The depth to the bottom of magnetic sources (DBMS) is widely used as a proxy for crustal thermal structures. In this study, the DBMS is calculated using the spectral analysis of aeromagnetic data for the whole territory of Mexico. By assuming the DBMS to be related to the Curie point depth, the heat flow distribution is estimated. The DBMS and heat flow maps were constructed using geostatistical simulations to quantitatively determine standard deviation as uncertainty. The results show a good agreement with the complex geologic and tectonic setting in Mexico. Small DBMS values (high heat flow) as expected appear in areas where recent volcanism occurs and at seafloor spreading zones. In contrast, large values are present in tectonically stable zones.

Modeling of the thermodynamic, structural, energetic and magnetic properties of the semiconductor solid solution Lu1-xVxNiSb was carried out under the condition of the presence of a magnetic moment on the V atoms and the occurrence of spontaneous magnetization. It is shown that the change in the unit cell parameter a(x) and the mixing enthalpy ΔHmix(х) depends little on the presence or absence of spontaneous magnetization. Modeling of the distribution of the density of electronic states DOS in the presence of a magnetic moment on V atoms revealed the splitting of energy states with spins up and down while preserving the band gap εg of Lu1-xVxNiSb. The relationship between the concentration of magnetic V atoms in Lu1-xVxNiSb and the Curie temperature ТС, when spontaneous magnetization is destroyed and the substance becomes paramagnetic, is established. The solid solution semiconductor Lu1-xVxNiSb, provided spontaneous magnetization is present, can be considered as a promising magnetocaloric.
