Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We report a mean-field theoretical study of a triangular magnet NiGaS
. Using the localized Wannier functions obtained from a band calculation, the most stable magnetic state was found to be spiral with the incommensurate structure, consistent with the result from neutron diffraction. The Ni-site Coulomb interaction was not strong (U about 2 eV). The spin value at the Ni site was also not so large about 1.1 mb. These results mean that the hybridization between Ni and S may play an important role. The dynamical spin correlation function was found to in accord with the results from neutron scattering.

CuO
on the basis of a detailed electronic band structure. We construct a realistic and precise tight-binding model by employing the maximally-localized Wannier functions derived from a first-principles electronic structure calculation, and then take account of the Coulomb repulsion between
electrons at each Cu site. The antiferromagnetic ground state is described within the Hartree-Fock approximation, and take account of electron correlations in the intermediate states of RIXS within the random-phase approximation (RPA). Calculated RIXS spectra agree well with the experimentally observed features including low-energy magnon excitation,
-
excitations, and charge-transfer excitations, over a wide excitation-energy range. In particular, we stress the importance of photon polarization dependence: the intensity of magnon excitation and the spectral structure of
-
excitations depend significantly not only on the polarization direction of incident incoming photons but also that of outgoing photons.

on the basis of a microscopic theory. Spectral shape and its dependence on polarization direction and momentum transfer of photons are explained consistently with experimental data within our microscopic calculation. According to our microscopic orbital-resolving analysis, high-energy spectral weights (above 5 eV) originate from charge-transfer excitations related to the Cu-
orbitals, while the low-energy weights (below 2 eV) originate from the
-
orbital excitations among the five Cu-
orbitals. We assign specifically the RIXS weights to microscopic orbital-excitation processes, beyond the previous phenomenological assignment based on symmetry properties.

First, using calculations based on a 16 band
model, we show that the energy of the lowest-lying excitations, identified as
interband transitions of dominant

orbital character, exhibits a dramatic dependence on electron correlation. This enables us to estimate the Coulomb repulsion
and Hund's coupling
, and to highlight the role played by
in these peculiar orbital-dependent electron correlation effects. Second, we show that short-range antiferromagnetic correlations, which are a prerequisite to the occurrence of these excitations at the

Times Cited Count:0 Percentile:0.00(Physics, Applied)The high- superconductivity in iron pnictides is studied within a perturbation theory. We employ a five-band Hubbard model taking account of five Fe3
-like local orbitals. The Eliashberg equation is solved by calculating the pairing interaction within the third-order perturbation expansion in the Coulomb interaction at iron sites. The superconducting order parameter changes sign between the disconnected Fermi surfaces, and the superconducting gap is fully opened without any nodes on the Fermi surface. The most favorable pairing symmetry is an

The effective pairing interaction is expanded perturbatively in the on-site Coulomb integrals up to third order. Our weak-coupling approach suggests: sufficiently large eigenvalues of the Eliashberg equation are obtained to explain the actual high

The superconducting order parameter does not change its sign on the Fermi surfaces, but change between the electron and hole Fermi surfaces. Consequently the probable pairing symmetry is always "nodeless extended

Recently, electronic excitation spectra have been observed in strongly correlated electron systems such as transition-metal compounds, by utilizing the highly brilliant synchrotron radiation. Among them, momentum dependent excitation spectra are observed in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) experiments at the transition-metal absorption -edge in the hard X-ray regime. The microscopic theory of RIXS constructed recently by the present authors is explained. An essential point is that RIXS spectrum is closely related to the dynamical density correlation function of correlated transition-metal
electrons. Spectral shapes and momentum dependence observed in several transition-metaloxides are semiquantitatively explained.
