TL;DR: In this article, the fullpotential linear-muffin-tin-orbital method in combination with the local density functional theory is used to calculate the equilibrium lattice constant, the cohesive energy, the bulk modulus and its pressure derivative, the elastic constants, the Kleinman internal displacement parameter, the zone-center transverse-optical-phonon frequency, its Gruneisen parameter and the corresponding energy-band strain, and optical-mode deformation potentials of cubic SiC.

TL;DR: The theory uses the adiabatic separation of diagonal and off-diagonal components of the spin density matrix to consider the orientation of the local magnetic moments to be slowly varying relative to their magnitudes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of coupled equations of motion for the evaluation of spin dynamics in magnets is introduced, which considers the orientation of the local magnetic moments to be slowly varying relative to their magnitudes.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical and experimental investigation of Cr-doped AlN was conducted, and it was shown that the isolated Cr 2 defect level in AlN is 1/3 full, falls approximately at midgap, and broadens into an impurity band for concentrations over 5%.

TL;DR: X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements reveal that Cu atoms in Co/Cu multilayers exhibit an induced magnetic spin moment in the d shell, indicating that the Cu d electrons play a large role in mediating the exchange coupling between successive Co layers.
