The GW approximation in electronic structure theory has become a widespread tool for
predicting electronic excitations in chemical compounds and materials. In the realm of …

When the rare earth mononitrides (RENs) first burst onto the scientific scene in the middle of
last century, there were feverish dreams that their strong magnetic moment would afford a …

Covalency in Ln–Cl bonds of O h-LnCl6 x–(x= 3 for Ln= CeIII, NdIII, SmIII, EuIII, GdIII; x= 2 for
Ln= CeIV) anions has been investigated, primarily using Cl K-edge X-ray absorption …

The fundamental redox chemistry and valence electronic structure of the lanthanides in
molecular complexes and extended solids continues to be a fertile area of research. The …

A first-principles understanding of the electronic properties of f-electron systems is currently
regarded as a great challenge in condensed-matter physics because of the difficulty in …

The effects of adding Eu 3+, Dy 3+, and Eu 3+/Dy 3+ rare-earth elements on the
microstructural, optical and electrical properties of lead-free piezoelectric materials based on …

Motivated by the recently developed renormalized second-order perturbation theory for
ground-state energy calculations, we propose a second-order screened exchange …

We investigate the previously observed superconductivity in ferromagnetic SmN in the
context of the breakdown of order between two magnetic phases. Nitrogen vacancy doped …

We report a comprehensive study of the synthesis of epitaxial SmN thin films on LaAlO 3
(100) by molecular beam epitaxy under slow-growth conditions. By carefully tuning the …

The impact of Eu3+ do** at the Sr2+ and Sn4+ sites in SrSnO3 on its structural and
electronic properties was studied and correlated with the photocatalytic efficiency. The …
