We analyze the criterion for the appearance of magnetic moments in quasicrystals approximants and liquids Al-Mn. In a Hartree-Fock scheme, it is shown that the Stoner criterion (Un_d(E_F) > 1) does not apply to these systems due to the…

The screening of magnetic moments in metals, the Kondo effect, is found to be quenched with a finite probability in the presence of nonmagnetic disorder. Numerical results for a disordered electron system show that the distribution of Kondo…
Closed shell molecular structures are under normal conditions time-reversal invariant. Experimental evidences point, however, towards that this invariance may be locally violated when the structure is in contact with a particle reservoir.…
