Electronically Induced Phase Transformations
Abstract
The electronic interactions responsible for the observed electronically induced phase transformations in several important classes of materials were investigated theoretically in close collaboration with experimental programs at other institutions. These include the high field superconductivity of Chevrel phase compounds and the first theoretical demonstration that the Jaccarino-Peter mechanism is responsible for the large increase in the upper critical field when large concentrations of Eu magnetic impurities are added to SnMo6S8, an extensive study of the unusual magnetic and superconducting properties of some C15 compounds, self-consistent energy band calculations including all electrons and all atoms in the 16 atoms per unit cell of the linear chain transition metal trichalcogenide, TaSe3, and the first demonstration of the onset of a metamagnetic transition in Pd Metal.
