Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pressure possesses perhaps the greatest of all the physical variables. First principles electronic structure calculations have contributed significantly to high perssure studies, especially of solids. In this work, the results of the first principles analysis of CoN, MnO and Li under pressure are presented. From total energy calculations, we can establish that CoN takes a paramagnetic zincblende structure at ambient pressure, rather than rocksalt as sometimes suggested. We also predict a first order phase transition to a ferromagnetic state at 43 GPa, a weak ferromagnet not far from a ferromagnetic quantum critical point. MnO, a classic prototype for a Mott insulator exibits rich physics as a function of pressure, including structural phase transition, volume collapse, insulator - metal transition, etc. This system has been a long standing challenge to methods based on density functional theory. Our study provides some of the first detailed information on how magnetic moments in a real material may begin to disintegrate without vanishing identically, at or near a Mott transition, when correlation is taken into account. Li, the simplest metal becomes a superconductor under pressure, with the highest Tc observed in any elemental metal. Using both total energy and linear response calculations we observe increasingly strong electron-phonon coupling concentrated along intersections of Kohn anomaly surfaces with the evolving Fermi surface, that drives this simple metal to become a superconductor under pressure"--

Download or read book Physics and Engineering Applications of Magnetism written by Yoshikazu Ishikawa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was originally published in Japanese in honour of Professor S. Chikazumi on the occasion of his retirement from the University of Tokyo in March 1982. Physicists who had been supervised by him or had closely col laborated with him wrote articles on recent developments in magnetism and its engineering applications. In the preface of his excellent textbook Physics of Magnetism (Wiley, 1964), Professor Chikazumi says that recent research in magnetism deals with fundamental physical problems and, at the same time, with more secondary magnetic phenomena, as well as with engineering applications of magnetic materials to electromagnetic machines, permanent magnets and electronic computers, and that the purpose of his textbook is to give a general view of these magnetic phenomena, focusing its main interest at the center of such a broad field. Always keeping such a viewpoint in mind, Professor Chikazumi has contributed a great deal to both fundamental physics and applications of magnetism. This is described in Chap. 1 of this book. Many books have been published on both the physics and applications of magnetism. However, no single book has a viewpoint covering both of them. The recent development of high technology needs such a broad viewpoint for scientists and engineers since it is a product of both fundamental science and technology. Research in magnetism is based on the response which materials show to the application of magnetic fields.

Download or read book Handbook of Magnetism and Advanced Magnetic Materials, 5 Volume Set written by Helmut Kronmüller and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 2007-09-11 with total page 754 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the first application of the oxide magnetite as a compass in China in ancient times, and from the early middle ages in Europe, magnetic materials have become an indispensable part of our daily life. Magnetic materials are used ubiquitously in the modern world, in fields as diverse as, for example, electrical energy transport, high-power electro-motors and generators, telecommunication systems, navigation equipment, aviation and space operations, micromechanical automation, medicine, magnetocaloric refrigeration, computer science, high density recording, non-destructive testing of materials, and in many household applications. Research in many of these areas continues apace. The progress made in recent years in computational sciences and advanced material preparation techniques has dramatically improved our knowledge of fundamental properties and increased our ability to produce materials with highly-tailored magnetic properties, even down to the nanoscale dimension. Containing approximately 120 chapters written and edited by acknowledged world leaders in the field, The Handbook of Magnetism and Advanced Magnetic Materials provides a state-of-the-art, comprehensive overview of our current understanding of the fundamental properties of magnetically ordered materials, and their use in a wide range of sophisticated applications. The Handbook is published in five themed volumes, as follows: Volume 1- Fundamentals and Theory Volume 2- Micromagnetism Volume 3- Novel Techniques for Characterizing and Preparing Samples Volume 4- Novel Materials Volume 5- Spintronics and Magnetoelectronics
