A survey is given of the physical properties, composition and crystal structure of intermetallic
compounds formed between rare-earth elements and 3d transition elements. Apart from …

The present topical review focuses on recent advances concerning an intriguing
phenomenon in condensed matter physics, the scattering of conduction electrons at the …

A technique for reduction of the Dirac equation, which initially omits the spin-orbit interaction
(thus kee** spin as a good quantum number), but retains all other relativistic kinematic …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …

Reviewed at both a relatively elementary and more advanced level is the interpretative
theory of the electron spin resonance of magnetic ions in metals. The various theoretical …

In recent years inelastic spin-flip spectroscopy using a low-temperature scanning tunneling
microscope has been a very successful tool for studying not only individual spins but also …

A review is given of the physical properties, composition and crystal structure of intermetallic
compounds formed between rare-earth elements and non-magnetic metals, with emphasis …

Using x-ray absorption spectroscopy recent progress is achieved all over in solid state
physics. This review focuses on these advances, with particular emphasis on applications to …

A new triangular-lattice intermetallic compound Gd 2 Ir 0.97 Si 2.97 was successfully
synthesized as single phase by deliberately introducing vacancies. Theoretical analysis …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses rare earth compounds. The number of stable
binary intermetallic compounds in which one of the components is a rare earth element is of …
