Superconductivity develops in metals upon the formation of a coherent macroscopic quantum state of electron pairs. Iron pnictides and chalcogenides are materials that have high superconducting transition temperatures. In this Review, we…
The electronic structure is found to be understandable in terms of free-atom term values and universal interorbital coupling parameters, since self-consistent tight-binding calculations indicate that Coulomb shifts of the d-state energies…

Metallic ferromagnetism is in general an intermediate to strong coupling phenomenon. Since there do not exist systematic analytic methods to investigate such types of problems, the microscopic origin of metallic ferromagnetism is still not…
Starting from the assumption that ferromagnetically correlated regions exist in manganites even in the absence of long-range magnetic order, we construct a model of charge transfer due to the spin-dependent tunnelling of charge carriers…
We propose an explanation for the experimentally observed temperature hysteresis of magnetization in single crystals of lanthanum manganite (La0.8Sr0.2MnO3). The phenomenon is interpreted within the framework of a double-exchange model with…

Laser irradiation of materials is most commonly modeled with the two-temperature model (TTM), or its combination with molecular dynamics, TTM-MD. For such modeling, the electronic transport coefficients are required. Here, we calculate the…
The rich novel materials class of iron based superconductors turned out to exhibit a very complex electronic structure, despite of the simplicity of their crystal structures. For various approaches to study the instability against magnetic…
