Part I: Experimental -- Basic properties of 3d-pnictides -- Overview of 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
Summary
This book presents the results of investigations into the magnetic properties of 3d transition metal compounds. In particular, it deals with 3d metal pnictides (i.e., compounds containing phosphorus, arsenic, antimony or bismuth). Part I shows the experimental data together with phenomenological discussions from fundamental and application view points. Part II shows that some of interesting behaviors mentioned in Part I can be explained on the basis of itinerant electron picture. Band structures obtained by first-principle calculations are applied to introduce theories to calculate various pro
