An overview of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in metallic ferromagnets, discussing both
experimental and theoretical aspects, is given. These QPTs can be classified with respect to …

Entropic forces in classical many-body systems, eg, colloidal suspensions, can lead to the
formation of new phases. Quantum fluctuations can have similar effects: spin fluctuations …

A variety of analytical techniques suggest that quantum fluctuations lead to a fundamental
instability of the Fermi liquid that drives ferromagnetic transitions first order at low …

Quantum critical points (QCPs) emerge when a second-order phase transition is suppressed
to zero temperature. In metals the quantum fluctuations at such a QCP can give rise to new …

The d-electron low temperature magnet NbFe 2 is poised near the threshold of magnetism at
ambient pressure, and can be tuned across the associated quantum critical point by …

In this review, an overview of itinerant magnets without magnetic elements is presented,
beginning with a comparison of the local and itinerant moment pictures, the two extremes of …

The Fe–Nb and Mn–Nb systems have been thermodynamically investigated within the
CALPHAD approach by combining available experimental data and the data from our ab …

This paper presents a Calphad-type thermodynamic database for the Fe–Nb–Ni system. The
stable phases in this ternary system are liquid, fcc_A1, bcc_A2, C14 Laves, D0a, D85 and …

We present a systematic study of transport and thermodynamic properties of the Laves
phase system Nb 1− y Fe 2+ y. Our measurements confirm that Fe-rich samples, as well as …

We report first-principles calculations of the band structure and magnetic ordering in the C14
Laves phase compound NbFe 2. The magnetism is itinerant in the sense that the moments …
