The band structure theory of magnetism in 3d-4f compounds is reviewed. Among the open-
shell electrons, a hierarchy of interactions is present which governs the intrinsic magnetic …

This book emerged from a course on density functional theory (DFT), first given at the
University of Munich more than a decade ago. The course was based on the classic texts by …

A review is given on the basic properties of 2: 14: 1 hard magnetic phases as well as
technological procedures used for manufacturing R-Fe-B and R-Fe-C permanent magnets …

The spin and orbital contributions to the magnetic moments of Fe, Co, and Ni are calculated
from first principles, using the linear muffin-tin orbitals method with the spin-orbit coupling …

First principles self-consistent band structure calculations using the augmented spherical
wave method were used to calculate (i) the average and local magnetic moments in Y 2 Fe …

A deviation from the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spin sum rule, which is
derived assuming well separated core spin-orbit multiplets in the final state of X-ray …

We present a charge and self-energy self-consistent computational scheme for correlated
systems based on the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) multiple scattering theory with the …

Using the linear muffin-tin orbital method and the virtual-crystal approximation, we have
calculated from first principles the spin and orbital moments of Fe-Co and Co-Ni alloys. The …

The spectra of the K-edge absorption and the magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) for
ferromagnetic Ni and Fe are calculated on the basis of a tight-binding approximation …

Relativistic effects, in particular the spin-orbit coupling, give rise for magnetic systems to a
great number of interesting and technologically important phenomena. The formal and …
