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 destruction of superconductivity and onset of a normal magnetic state at low temperatures in ternary rare-earth superconducting compounds and the possible occurrence of a new mixed phase, the origin of the phase transition to the superconducting phase in the Chevrel compounds, the possibility of excitonic superconductivity in CuCl, the origin of phonon. Keywords: Copper; Chloride.
