Electronic structure and magnetism of 3d-transition metal pnictides

This book presents the results of investigations into the magnetic propertiesof 3d-transition metal compounds. In particular, it deals with 3d-metal pnictides (i.e., compounds containing phosphorus, arsenic, antimony or bismuth). Part I reports the experimental data together with phenomenological discussions from fundamental and application view points. Part II addresses how some of interesting behaviors mentioned in Part I can be explained on the basis of an itinerant electron picture. Band structures obtained by first-principle calculations are applied to introduce theories to calculate various properties such assusceptibility, magnetic ordering, and magnetic transitions, etc. First monograph devoted to pnictides since a Landolt-Börnstein volume Summarizes the current knowledge on this class of metal compounds Explains material behaviour andapplications Serves as a reference for researchers and engineers alike INDICE: Part I: Experimental.- Basic properties of 3d-pnictides.- Overviewof magnetic properties of NiAs-type (MnP-type) and Cu2Sb-type compounds.- Properties of the compounds with NiAs-type (MnP-type) and Cu2Sb-type structures.-Part II: Itinerant Electron Theory.- Electronic band structure and magnetism of NiAs-type compounds.- Itinerant theory of magnetism of Cu2Sb-type compounds.
