Ferroelectricity and metallicity are usually believed not to coexist because conducting electrons would screen out static internal electric fields. In 1965, Anderson and Blount proposed the concept of 'ferroelectric metal', however, it is…
We propose that localized defects in magnetic semiconductors act as deep impurities and can be described by the Anderson model. Within this model, hybridization of d-orbitals and p-orbitals gives rise to a non-RKKY indirect exchange…
The two-dimensional Wigner crystal (WC) occurs in the strongly interacting regime ($r_s \gg 1$) of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). The magnetism of a pure WC is determined by tunneling processes that induce multi-spin ring-exchange…
