AbstractThe electronic structure of Pu chalcogenides is investigated making use of static around-mean-field LDA+U and dynamical LDA+HIA (Hubbard-I) methods. The LDA+U calculations provide correct non-magnetic ground state for PuX (X = S, Se, Te) with 5f-manifold non-integer filling (∼5.6(PuS)-5.7(PuTe)). This is an indication of a mixed valence ground state which is a combination of f5 and f6 multiplets. The photoelectron spectra are calculated in good agreement with experimental data. The 5f-manifold three-peaks feature near EF is well reproduced by LDA+HIA, and follows from mixed valence character of the ground state.

Despite the fact that the magnetic properties of the intermetallic compounds with C15- type Laves phase structure have so far been studied intensively, the nature of magnetism in some of them is still a matter of controversy. In order to establish and understand the magnetism in the HfCo2 Laves phase with C15 (MgCu2-type) structure, calculations using FP-LAPW WIEN 97 program package for non-polarized and spin-polarized cases were made. They have shown that the spin-polarized case is more stable, i. e. the energy of its ground state is lower by about 0.15 eV. This is in collision with the measured TDPAC spectra, which show no sign of magnetic interaction, as well as with the earlier reported magnetization and susceptibility measurements, which claim that HfCo2 is Pauli paramagnet. Probable explanation for the obtained contradiction is the deviation of the real structure from the ideal one.

Structural optimization, magnetic ground state and electronic structure calculations of tetragonal PbMnO3have been carried out using local density approximation (LDA) implementations of density functional theory (DFT). Structural optimizations were done on tetragonal P4mm (non-centrosymmetric) and P4/mmm (centrosymmetric) structures using experimental lattice parameters and our results indicate that P4mm is more stable than P4/mmm. In order to determine the stable magnetic ground state of PbMnO3, total energies for different magnetic configurations such as nonmagnetic (NM), ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) were computed for both P4mm and P4/mmm structures. The total energy results reveal that the FM non-centrosymmetric structure is found to be the most stable magnetic ground state. The electronic band structure, density of states (DOS) and the electron localization function (ELF) were calculated for the stable FM structure. ELF revealed the distorted non-centrosymmetric structure. The band structure and DOS for the majority spins of FM PbMnO3showed no band gap at the Fermi level. However, a gap opens up at the Fermi level in minority spin channel suggesting that it could be a half-metal and a potential spintronic candidate.
