Diamagnetic susceptibility of a dense electron gas
The authors calculate the diamagnetic susceptibility of a uniform interacting electron gas in the random-phase approximation. From this the exact high-density expansion of the diamagnetic susceptibility is obtained -
Dipole-dipole interactions and the critical resistivity of gadolinium
Results are presented for the electrical resistivity of a c-axis single crystal of high-purity gadolinium metal in the immediate vicinity of the Curie temperature. Numerical analysis reveals that the data are not well ... -
Effect of finite mean free path on spin-flip scattering rates near the critical point of magnetically ordered systems
The finite electron mean free path of conduction electrons is found to play an important role in determining spin-flip scattering rates, 1/sf, near a magnetic critical point. Small-momentum-transfer processes are suppressed ... -

Exchange and correlation energy in a nonuniform fermion fluid
Recent results for the surface energy of jelliumlike surfaces are investigated within the functional-density formalism. These results along with first-principles considerations support the contention that the first gradient ... -

Fourth-order gradient contributions in extended Thomas-Fermi theory for noninteracting fermions at finite temperature
Nonlocal corrections to the free energy of a system of noninteracting fermions are considered within the framework of extended Thomas-Fermi theory. The density and temperature dependence of gradient corrections is given ... -
Gradient corrections in the exchange and correlation energy of an inhomogeneous electron gas
A closed form expression for the coefficient Bxc which determines the first gradient corrections to the exchange and correction energy is derived. The exact expression is obtained from an approximation that includes the ... -
Heat capacity of gadolinium near the Curie temperature
High-resolution AC calorimetric data near the Curie point are reported for several single crystals of gadolinium. The critical temperature and the shape of the heat-capacity curve near Tc both depend on the sample-preparation ... -

Influence of the envelope function on the ground-state energy of quasi-two-dimensional Wigner solids
At sufficiently low density, quasi-two-dimensional electron systems in their ground state form Wigner solids. In previous studies of the ground-state energy of such systems (in the absence of an applied magnetic field), ... -
Lattice sums for dipolar systems
A general method for the evaluation of lattice sums determining the effective parameters in the Hamiltonian of a dipolar magnetic system is described. The anisotropy of the Hamiltonian is examined for crystal structures ... -
Linear-response function of a semi-infinite degenerate plasma in the presence of an external magnetic field
The static linear-response function x0(r,r') of a semi-infinite, degenerate plasma of noninteracting electrons is calculated in the presence of an external magnetic field perpendicular to the surface. The surface is simulated ... -
Magnetic susceptibility of metallic transition-metal dichalcogenides
A tight-binding model has been used to estimate the anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility of the metallic transition-metal dichalcogenides. The calculated anisotropies obtained are in qualitative agreement with ... -
Motion of a point dipole in an infinite hole through a superconductor
The authors consider the system of a magnetic point dipole placed in an infinite square hole through a superconductor. Using the method of images they obtain the potential and the field distribution in the hollow. Using ... -
Negative electron-electron drag between narrow quantum Hall channels
Momentum transfer due to Coulomb interaction between two parallel, two-dimensional, narrow, and spatially separated layers, when a current Idrive is driven through one layer, is studied in the presence of a perpendicular ... -
Nonlocal exchange energy of many-fermion systems of arbitrary dimensionality and interparticle interaction
The exchange contributions to the ground-state energy of an inhomogeneous many-fermion system of arbitrary dimensionality are calculated. Explicit results are given for both the local-density approximation and the lowest-order ... -
Photoacoustic investigation of the temperature and magnetic-field dependence of the specific-heat capacity and thermal conductivity near the Curie point of gadolinium
The photoacoustic technique was used as a simple but accurate tool to simultaneously determine the specific-heat capacity C and thermal conductivity K of gadolinium in the neighborhood of the Curie point. One polycrystalline ... -
Plasmons in disordered, two-component, quasi-two-dimensional electron systems
The authors investigate the effect of elastic scattering of electrons on the properties of plasmons in a disordered, two-component, quasi-two-dimensional electron gas. Numerical results are given for dispersion relations ...
