Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic structure of the high-temperature oxide superconductors
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the results of the density-functional type of electronic structure calculations is presented, and their results are compared with the relevant experimental data, showing that the important electronic states are dominated by the copper and oxygen orbitals, with strong hybridization between them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superconductivity of MgB2: covalent bonds driven metallic.
J. M. An,Warren E. Pickett +1 more
TL;DR: Calculations on MgB2 and related isoelectronic systems indicates that the layer of Mg2+ ions lowers the nonbonding B pi ( p(z)) bands relative to the bonding sigma ( sp(x)p(y)) bands compared to graphite, causing sigma-->pi charge transfer and sigma band doping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudopotential methods in condensed matter applications
TL;DR: In this article, an extensive list of applications of the self-consistent pseudopotential method for describing properties of condensed matter systems is given, with special attention given to the developments in iteration to selfconsistency, and to the implications of the variational nature of the energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electronic structure and half-metallic transport in the La1-xCaxMnO3 system
Warren E. Pickett,David J. Singh +1 more
TL;DR: Strong local environment effects arising from neighboring cation charge differences that suggest localization of the low density of minority carriers, leading to effective half-metallic ferromagnetism in the CMR regime are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Half Metallic Magnets
TL;DR: In this article, half metals belong to a new class of materials that look set to play a key role in next-generation electronic devices, and half metals are used for the first time.
