Theory of Spin-Fluctuation Resistivity Near Critical-Point of Binary-Alloys and Antiferromagnets
No abstract available. -
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 ... -
Wave-vector analysis of metallic surface energy
The exchange and correlation energy of a nonuniform electronic system can be decomposed into contributions of different wave-vector fluctuations. Both the long- and short-wavelength contributions to this energy can be ... -
Resistive anomalies at the critical point of isotropic ferromagnets
The effect of spin fluctuations on electrical resistivity (T) is studied in a single-band model. It is shown that d(T)/dT varies as the magnetic specific heat for TTc as well as TTc and that both short-range and long-range ... -

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 ... -
Small and large wavelength contributions to the exchange and correlation energy of a nonuniform electron gas
For the uniform electron gas, the decomposition of the exchange and correlation energy into its individual wave vectors has proved invaluable for both a deeper understanding of its structure as well as its extensions to ... -
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 ... -
Wave-vector decomposition of the exchange and correlation contributions to a metallic surface energy
The authors decompose the lowest-order nonlocal corrections to the local-density approximation to the exchange and correlation component of the metallic surface energy in terms its wave-vector components. Comparison with ... -
Comment on `Exact electron-gas response functions at high density'
For original paper see D.C. Langreth and S.H. Vosko, ibid., vol.59, p.497 (1987). Langreth and Vosko calculated correlation contributions to the Hohenberg-Kohn energy response function Kxc(q,k). They claimed that the results ... -
Comment on `Quantum-mechanical interpretation of the exchange-correlation potential of Kohn-Sham density-functional theory'
For original paper see M.K. Harbola and V. Sahni, ibid., vol.62, p.489 (1989). Harbola and Sahni suggested a procedure for constructing the exchange-correlation potential that enters the Kohn-Sham single-particle equations. ... -

Critical exponents and amplitude ratios from electrical resistivity measurements of dysprosium
Resistive anomalies in helical antiferromagnets are shown to reflect the temperature dependence of the specific heat sufficiently close to the Neel temperature. The temperature dependence of superzone energy gaps does not ... -
Adsorbate densities and surface potentials of physisorbed systems: A density-functional approach
A density-functional approach for the calculation of the density of particles adsorbed on the surface of a solid is explored including the adparticle two-body interaction. The coverages and effective surface potentials so ... -

Universal correction to scaling amplitude ratios for inhomogeneous ferromagnets with continuous symmetry
Critical exponents and amplitude ratios for corrections to the scaling limit are calculated for a randomly diluted, weakly inhomogeneous O(m) Heisenberg model in an expansion in =4-d. Calculations for the exponents and ... -
Umklapp electron-electron scattering and the low-temperature electrical resistivity of the alkali metals
The Umklapp fraction, , for electron-electron scattering in the alkali metals has been calculated using first-principles pseudopotentials. Both Coulomb scattering and phonon-exchange scattering have been included. For a ... -
Comment on `Anisotropic superconductors with repulsive average interaction'
For original paper see M.D. Whitmore and J.P. Carbotte, ibid., vol.23, p.5782 (1981). In a recent paper Whitmore and Carbotte concluded that a sufficient condition for the superconducting state to be stable relative to the ... -
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 ...
