When the rare earth mononitrides (RENs) first burst onto the scientific scene in the middle of
last century, there were feverish dreams that their strong magnetic moment would afford a …

The electronic structure, chemical bonding and mechanical properties of Ln2Zr2O7 (Ln= La,
Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu and Gd) pyrochlore are investigated by local-density approximation of spin …

The electronic structures and magnetic properties of many rare-earth monopnictides are
reviewed in this article. Possible candidate materials for spintronics devices from the rare …

We report measurements of the optical gap in a GdN film at temperatures from 300 to 6 K,
covering both the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases. The gap is 1.31 eV in the …

We report a comprehensive electronic structure investigation of the paramagnetic (PM), the
large moment antiferromagnetic (LMAF), and the hidden order (HO) phases of URu 2 Si 2 …

The full-potential all-electron linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbital method, as
implemented in the suite of the software wien2k, has been used to systematically investigate …

The electronic states of the actinide dioxides AnO 2 (with An= U, Np, Pu, Am, and Cm) are
investigated employing first-principles calculations within the framework of the local density …

Starting from the Dirac-Kohn-Sham equation, we derive the relativistic equation of motion of
spin angular momentum in a magnetic solid under an external electromagnetic field. This …

The electronic and band structures of the Gd-and Sb-based intermetallic materials have
been explored using the theoretical ab initio approach, accounting for strong electron …

We consider the dynamics of a movable mirror (cantilever) of a cavity coupled through
radiation pressure to the light scattered from ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. Scattering …
