Correlation Effects in Band Ferromagnetism
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the influence of different on-site and inter-site interactions on the Curie temperature of transition metal magnetic elements. The numerical calculations show the well known result that the on-site Coulomb repulsion helps ferromagnetism mainly at half-filling of the band, where the 3d elements are antiferromagnetic (Cr, Mn). The inter-site interactions, which in the new approximation decrease the width of the band, favor ferromagnetism at both ends of the band. At the same time they lower the ferromagnetic Curie temperature towards experimental values, removing the paradox which persisted for a long time. PACS codes: 75.10.Lp; 75.50.Bb; 75.50.Cc

Metallic Ferromagnetism - an Electronic Correlation Phenomenon
New insights into the microscopic origin of itinerant ferromagnetism were recently gained from investigations of electronic lattice models within dynamical meanfield theory (DMFT). In particular, it is now established that even in the one-band Hubbard model metallic ferromagnetism is stable at intermediate values of the interaction U and density n on regular, frustrated lattices. Furthermore, b...
متن کاملDesign of electron correlation effects in interfaces and nanostructures
We propose that one of the best grounds for the materials design from the viewpoint of electron correlation such as ferromagnetism, superconductivity is the atomically controlled nanostructures and heterointerfaces, as theoretically demonstrated here from three examples with first-principles calculations: (i) Band ferromagnetism in a purely organic polymer of five-membered rings, where the flat...
متن کاملFlat-band ferromagnetism in armchair graphene nanoribbons
We study the electronic correlation effects in armchair graphene nanoribbons that have been recently proposed to be the building blocks of spin qubits. The armchair edges give rise to peculiar quantum interferences and lead to quenched kinetic energy of the itinerant carriers at appropriate doping level. This is a beautiful one-dimensional analogy of the Landaulevel formation in two dimensions ...
متن کاملMicroscopic conditions favoring itinerant ferromagnetism
A systematic investigation of the microscopic conditions stabilizing itinerant ferromagnetism of correlated electrons in a single-band model is presented. Quantitative results are obtained by quantum Monte Carlo simulations for a model with Hubbard interaction U and direct Heisenberg exchange interaction F within the dynamical mean-field theory. Special emphasis is placed on the investigation o...
متن کاملElectronic correlation in anion p orbitals impedes ferromagnetism due to cation vacancies in Zn chalcogenides.
Electronic correlation effects, usually associated with open d or f shells, have so far been considered in p orbitals only sporadically for the localized 2p states of first-row elements. We demonstrate that the partial band occupation and the metallic band-structure character as predicted by local density calculations for II-VI materials containing cation vacancies is removed when the correct e...
