Nature of the5fstates in actinide metals

Magnetic Structure of Actinide Metals

In comparison to 3d or 4 f metals, magnetism in actinides remains poorly understood due to experimental complications and the exotic behavior of the 5 f states. In particular, plutonium metal is most especially vexing. Over the last five decades theories proposed the presence of either ordered or disordered local moments at low temperatures. However, experiments such as magnetic susceptibility,...

Do Bose metals exist in Nature?

We revisit the concept of superfluidity in bosonic lattice models in low dimensions. Then, by using numerical and analytical results obtained previously for equivalent spinless fermion models, we show that the gapless phase of 1D interacting bosons may be either superfluid or remarkablymetallic and not superfluid. The latter phase -the Bose metalshould be, according to the mentioned results, a ...

Nature, strength, and consequences of indirect adsorbate interactions on metals

Atoms and molecules adsorbed on metals affect each other indirectly even over considerable distances. Via systematic density-functional calculations, we establish the nature and strength of such interactions, and explain for what adsorbate systems they critically affect important materials properties. This is verified in kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of epitaxial growth, which help rationaliz...
