We study electronic properties of AA-stacked graphene bilayers. In the single-particle approximation such a system has one electron band and one hole band crossing the Fermi level. If the bilayer is undoped, the Fermi surfaces of these…
AgF2 has been proposed as a cuprate analogue which requires strong correlation and marked covalence. On the other hand, fluorides are usually quite ionic and 4d transition metals tend to be less correlated than their 3d counterparts, which…

We theoretically argue that, in doped AB bilayer graphene, the electron-electron coupling can give rise to the spontaneous formation of fractional metal phases. These states, being generalizations of a more common half-metal, have a Fermi…
We have successfully prepared two novel mixed-valence compounds of silver, Ag(I)Ag(II)F3 and Ag(I)2Ag(II)F4. They may be considered to be long-sought strongly electron-overdoped Ag(II)F2. Their crystal structures indicate that both belong…
We investigate the doping of AA-stacked graphene bilayers. Applying a mean field theory at zero temperature we find that, at half-filling, the bilayer is an antiferromagnetic insulator. Upon doping, the homogeneous phase becomes unstable…
