In this work, we perform first-principles calculations of the structural, electronic, vibrational and magnetic properties of a novel ${\rm C}_{48}{\rm N}_{12}$ azafullerene. Full geometrical optimization shows that ${\rm C}_{48}{\rm N}_{12}$ is characterized by several distinguishing features: only one nitrogen atom p…

We have studied the magnetic-field and concentration dependences of the magnetizations of the hole and Mn subsystems in diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor Ga_{1-x}Mn_xAs. A mean-field approximation to the hole-mediated interaction is used, in which the hole concentration p(x) is parametrized in terms of a fitting (of…

We study the structural, electronic, vibrational and magnetic properties of a novel ${\rm C}_{48}{\rm N}_{12}$ aza-fullerene using density functional theory and restricted Hartree-Fock theory. Optimized geometries and total energy of this fullerene have been calculated. We find that for ${\rm C}_{48}{\rm N}_{12}$ the…

Results of ab initio calculations using the relativistic Local Spin Density theory are presented for the magnetic moments of periodic 5d and 4d transition metal interfaces with bcc Fe(001). In this systematic study we calculated the layer-resolved spin and orbital magnetic moments over the entire series. For the Fe/W(…

We report in situ Atomic Force Microscopy experiments which reveal the presence of nanoscale damage cavities ahead of a stress-corrosion crack tip in glass. Their presence might explain the departure from linear elasticity observed in the vicinity of a crack tip in glass. Such a ductile fracture mechanism, widely obse…

The systematic in the 4f n → 4f n −1 5d transition energy of divalent lanthanides in inorganic compounds has been studied. Energies were derived from excitation and optical absorption spectra gathered from the literature. Going through the lanthanide series from La 2+ to Yb 2+ , a characteristic variation is observed…
