Electronic Structure and Magnetism of 3d-Transition Metal Pnictides

This book presents the results of investigations into the magnetic properties of 3d-transition metal compounds. In particular, it deals with 3d-metal pnictides (i.e., compounds containing phosphorus, arsenic, antimony or bismuth). Part I reports the experimental data together with phenomenological discussions from fundamental and application view points. Part II addresses how some of interesting behaviors mentioned in Part I can be explained on the basis of an itinerant electron picture. Band structures obtained by first-principle calculations are applied to introduce theories to calculate various properties such as susceptibility, magnetic ordering, and magnetic transitions, etc.

List of contents

Part I: Experimental.- Basic properties of 3d-pnictides.- Overview of magnetic properties of NiAs-type (MnP-type) and Cu2Sb-type compounds.- Properties of the compounds with NiAs-type (MnP-type) and Cu2Sb-type structures.- Part II: Itinerant Electron Theory.- Electronic band structure and magnetism of NiAs-type compounds.- Itinerant theory of magnetism of Cu2Sb-type compounds.

Summary

This book on the magnetic properties of 3d-transition metal compounds focuses on 3d-metal pnictides. It couples experimental data with phenomenological discussions and explores how certain behaviors can be explained based on an itinerant electron picture.
