N-doped SrO seems to be one of the model systems for d^0 magnetism, in which magnetism (or ideally, ferromagnetism) was ascribed to the localized N 2p spins mediated by delocalized O 2p holes. Here we offer a different view, using density…
Alkali superoxide CsO2 is one of candidates for the spin-1/2 one-dimensional (1D) antiferromagnet, which may be sequentially caused by an ordering of the pi-orbital of O2- molecule below TS ~ 70 K. Here, we report on the magnetism in powder…
