Resonant magnetic excitations are widely recognized as hallmarks of unconventional superconductivity in copper oxides, iron pnictides, and heavy-fermion compounds. Numerous model calculations have related these modes to the microscopic…

Among the various alkali oxides the sesquioxides Rb4O6 and Cs4O6 are of special interest. Electronic structure calculations using the local spin-density approximation predicted that Rb4O6 should be a half-metallic ferromagnet, which was…

Doped divalent hexaborides such as $Sr_{1-x}La_xB_6$ exhibit high \tc ferromagnetism. We isolate a degenerate pair of $2p$-orbitals of boron with two valence electrons, invoke electron correlation and Hund coupling, to suggest that the…

We report calculations of the electronic structure of CaB$_6$ using the weighted density approximation (WDA) to density functional theory. We find a semiconducting band structure with a sizable gap, in contrast to local density…

Heavy-fermion metals exhibit a plethora of low-temperature ordering phenomena, among them the so-called hidden-order phases that in contrast to conventional magnetic order are invisible to standard neutron diffraction. One of the oldest and…

In contrast to semiconductors doped with transition metal magnetic elements, which become ferromagnetic at temperatures below ~ 100K, semiconductors doped with non-magnetic ions (e.g. silicon doped with phosphorous) have not shown evidence…

Cobaltates have rich spin-states and diverse properties. Using spin-state pictures and firstprinciples calculations, here we study the electronic structure and magnetism of the mixed-valent double perovskite YBaCo2O6. We find that YBaCo2O6…

The Mott transition in honeycomb compounds with significant spin-orbit coupling is explored. At finite temperatures we identify a novel semimetallic phase located between a topological insulator and a topological Mott insulator. This…

We report measurements and calculations on the properties of the intermetallic compound Be$_5$Pt. High-quality polycrystalline samples show a nearly constant temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity over a wide temperature…

Half-Heusler compounds with 18 valence electrons are semi-conducting. It will be shown that doping with electrons results in half-metallic ferromagnets, similar to the case of diluted semi-conductors. CoTiSb is known to be a semi-conducting…

Existence of ferromagnetism in bulk calcium compounds is discovered theoretically. First-principles calculations of calcium phosphide, calcium arsenide and calcium antimonide in the zinc-blende structure have been performed to show the…

Polarized and unpolarized triple-axis spectrometry has been used to study an underdoped YBa_2Cu3O6.6. Our results indicate that spin excitations in the superconducting state are essentially the same as those in the fully doped material…

A review of new developments in theoretical and experimental electronic structure investigations of half-metallic ferromagnets (HMF) is presented. Being semiconductors for one spin projection and metals for another ones, these substances…

The origin of ferromagnetism in semimagnetic III-V materials is discussed. The indirect exchange interaction caused by virtual electron excitations from magnetic impurity level in the bandgap to the valence band can explain ferromagnetism…

We have successfully synthesized a Ba6Ge25 clathrate, substituting 3 Fe per formula unit by Ge. This chiral clathrate has Ge sites forming a framework of closed cages and helical tunnel networks. Fe atoms randomly occupy these sites, and…

I study the electronic structure and magnetism of postperovskite CaIrO$_3$ using first-principles calculations. The density functional calculations within the local density approximation without the combined effect of spin-orbit coupling…

Resistive and magnetization properties have been measured in BiS$_2$-based samples CeO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$BiS$_{2}$ with a systematic substitution of O with F (0 $<$ x $<$ 0.6). In contrast to the band structure calculations, it is found that…

Motivated by the observation of nonmetallic nature in double perovskite Ca2CrReO6 and Ca2FeReO6 with high magnetic Curie temperatures of 360 and 522 K, we systematically investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of…

Diluted magnetic semiconductors possessing intrinsic static magnetism at high temperatures represent a promising class of multifunctional materials with high application potential in spintronics and magneto-optics. In the hexagonal Fe-doped…

Specific heat for single crystalline samples of Ce1-xLaxOs4Sb12 at zero-field and magnetic fields to 14 T is reported. Our results confirm enhanced value of the electronic specific heat coefficient in the paramagnetic state. They provide…
