Electronic Structure and Magnetic Anisotropy of Single-Layer Rare-Earth Oxybromide

Electronic structure and magnetic anisotropy of CrO2

The problem of importance of strong correlations for the electronic structure, transport, and magnetic properties of half-metallic ferromagnetic CrO2 is addressed by performing density functional electronic structure calculations in the local spin density approximation sLSDAd as well as using the LSDA1U method. It is shown that the corresponding low-temperature experimental data are best fitted...

Electronic, magnetic and transport properties of rare-earth monopnictides.

The electronic structures and magnetic properties of many rare-earth monopnictides are reviewed in this article. Possible candidate materials for spintronics devices from the rare-earth monopnictide family, i.e. high polarization (nominally half-metallic) ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, are identified. We attempt to provide a unified picture of the electronic properties of these strongly cor...

Magnetic orientation and magnetic anisotropy in paramagnetic layered oxides containing rare-earth ions.

The magnetic anisotropies and easy axes of magnetization at room temperature were determined, and the effects of rare-earth (RE) ions were clarified for RE-based cuprates, RE-doped bismuth-based cuprates and RE-doped Bi-based cobaltite regarding the grain orientation by magnetic field. The easy axis, determined from the powder orientation in a static field of 10 T, depended qualitatively on the...
