MAGNETISM AND ELECTRONIC CORRELATIONS IN LOCAL-MOMENT SYSTEMS: RARE-EARTH ELEMENTS AND COMPOUNDS PDF

The interplay of magnetism and electronic correlations dominates the physical properties of many rare-earth elements and their compounds. The investigation of the mutual influence of the localized 4f electrons and itinerant band electrons represents a challenging task in theoretical as well as experimental physics. Research areas of current interest are the electronic structure as determined from calculations and spectroscopies, the magnetic properties in three- and low-dimensional systems, open questions concerning transport such as spin disorder resistivity, and the influence of structure and morphology.
