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 ... -
Surface-induced quantum density oscillations in the presence of an external magnetic field
The electron number density and spin density near the surface of a model metal, semimetal, or semiconductor are calculated in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic field is applied in a direction perpendicular ... -
Coefficients to O(3) for the mixed fixed point of the nm-component field model
The nm-component field model has a number of application in the description of critical phenomena. The coefficients in the expansion for the stability matrix eigenvalues and correlation function exponent n for the mixed ... -
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 ... -
Convergence properties as a function of spatial dimensionality of gradient expansions for the ground-state energy of an inhomogeneous electron gas
The extended Thomas-Fermi approximation for the ground-state energy of a many-fermion system is generalized to arbitrary spatial dimension. The authors' objective is a better understanding of convergence properties of such ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 -

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 ... -
Critical magnetic susceptibility of gadolinium
The magnetic suspectibility of a single crystal of high-purity gadolinium has been measured in the critical region with use of AC susceptibility methods. For reduced temperatures t10-3, the data are described by a simple ... -
Critical behavior of two-dimensional magnetic systems with dipole-dipole interactions
The critical exponents of two-dimensional dipolar magnetic systems with isotropic in-plane ordering may be obtained from the expansion which determines the exponents of isotropic three-dimensional dipolar systems. However, ... -
Anisotropy of the critical magnetic susceptibility of gadolinium
The magnetic susceptibility along the c axis (xc) and in the basal plane (xb) has been measured on a single crystal of Gd in the reduced temperature range 410-4t1.310-2. Uniaxial anisotropy is observed. Magnetic dipole-dipole ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
Short-distance expansion for the spin-spin correlation function of uniaxial dipolar systems
Motivated by recent work on the critical resistivity of gadolinium, a detailed study has been made of the temperature dependence of the two-point vertex function in the large-momentum regime. The operator-project expansion ...
