Nature of the 5f states in actinide metals

TL;DR: In this article, a review compiles and analyzes progress in the understanding of the electronic and magnetic structure of the $5f$ states in actinide metals, focusing on electron energy-loss spectroscopy and many-electron atomic spectral calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular adsorption on graphene

TL;DR: It is evident that the strong manipulation of graphene's electronic structure, including p- and n-doping, is not only possible with molecular adsorbates, but that this approach appears to be superior compared to these exploiting edge effects, local defects, or strain.

Electronic, magnetic and transport properties of rare-earth monopnictides

TL;DR: The current understanding of the possible half-metallicity, semiconductor-metal transitions, and magnetic orderings in the rare-earth monopnictides is presented and some potential strategies to improve the magnetic and electronic properties of these candidate materials for spintronics devices are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electronic substrate-mediated interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the experimental progress that exploits electronic substrate-mediated interactions as a means to control the order and structures of surface self-assemblies, with emphasis on scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), a technique that is sensitive to both the spatial and the energetic distributions of surface electronic states.

Ground state of the electron gas by a stochastic method

TL;DR: An exact stochastic simulation of the Schroedinger equation for charged Bosons and Fermions was used to calculate the correlation energies, to locate the transitions to their respective crystal phases at zero temperature within 10%, and to establish the stability at intermediate densities of a ferromagnetic fluid of electrons.

Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for spin diffusion or conduction in the "impurity band" is presented, which involves transport in a lattice which is in some sense random, and in them diffusion is expected to take place via quantum jumps between localized sites.

The ground state of the electron gas by a stochastic method

TL;DR: The results of the election were reported by the National Resource for Computing in Chemistry (NCI) as discussed by the authors, a non-profit organization for information technology in the chemical industry, which is based at the Berkeley Lab.

Absence of Ferromagnetism or Antiferromagnetism in One- or Two-Dimensional Isotropic Heisenberg Models

TL;DR: In this paper, it is rigorously proved that at any nonzero temperature, a one- or two-dimensional isotropic spin-S$ Heisenberg model with finite-range exchange interaction can be neither ferromagnetic nor antiferromagnetic.
