TL;DR: The ab initio results for this important magnetic material agree well with recent experimental measurements, whereas the single-ion anisotropy model fails to give the correct qualitative behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, the Fermi surface of rare-earth tritellurides was investigated in terms of the nesting-driven charge-density wave formation using positron annihilation and first-principles linear muffin-tin orbital calculations.

TL;DR: The phase equilibria of a lattice gas confined two parallel walls are investigated in mean-field approximation as discussed by the authors, showing that only a finite number of the first-order layering transitions, characteristic of the adsorption isotherms π(μ) for a strongly attractive substrate, survive when the wall separation H is finite.

TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) of bulk and thick films of FePt is calculated from a 'first-principles' theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, a scheme for making ab initio calculations of the dynamic paramagnetic spin susceptibilities of solids at finite temperatures is described, which is based on time-dependent density functional theory and employs an electronic multiple scattering formalism.
