چکیده
The crystal structures and the physical (magnetic, electrical transport and thermodynamic) properties of the ternary compounds CeRhSi(2) and Ce(2)Rh(3)Si(5) (orthorhombic CeNiSi(2)- and U(2)Co(3)Si(5)-type structures, respectively) were studied over wide ranges of temperature and magnetic field strength. The results revealed that both materials are valence fluctuating systems, in line with previous literature reports. Direct evidence for valence fluctuations was obtained by means of Ce L(III)-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy and Ce 3d core-level x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The experimental data were confronted with the results of ab initio calculations of the electronic band structures in both compounds.

Abstract: In this study, using density functional theory and the SIESTA computationalcode, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of the armchair graphenenanoribbons and the armchair boron nitride nanoribbons of width 25 in the presence of atransverse external electric field. We have observed that in the absence of the electricfield, these structures are se...

Structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu) were studied for each of three magnetic configurations nonmagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic by using density functional theory in generalized gradient approximations (GGA) and strong correlation correction (GGA + U). Due to magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to nonmagnetic phase, an electr...

متن کاملFirst Principle Study of MC (M= Al, Ga, and In) at Equilibrium and under Negative Stress
The electronic and magnetic properties of the hypothetical compounds of MC (M=Al, Ga and In) are investigated by using first-principle calculations and pseudopotential plane wave self-consistent field method based on density functional theory. In order to find the most stable phase of MC (M=Al, Ga and In), we study them in zinc-blende (ZB), rocksalt (RS), wurtzite and NiAs crystal structures. W...
