The results of a DFT theoretical investigation on the catalytic mechanism of the QC enzyme are presented. A rather large model-system is used. It includes the most important residues that are believed to play a key-role in the catalysis. The computational results show that the rate-determining step of the catalytic pr…

The electronic structure of a σ-FeCr compound in a paramagnetic state was calculated for the first time in terms of isomer shifts and quadrupole splittings. The former were calculated using the charge self-consistent Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) Green's function technique, while the latter were estimated from an exten…

Abstract Thermal dependences of the magnetic susceptibility of the glass‐coated microwires with compositions Fe 3 P and SnMn prepared by the Taylor–Ulitovski method have been determined. Direct measurements of the adiabatic temperature change revealed Δ T ad of 0.04 K in the SnMn and Δ T ad of 0.02 K in the Fe 3 P mic…

The electronic and magnetic structures of the double perovskite oxide Ba 2MnWO6 (BMW) were determined by employing the density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) + U approach. BMW is considered a prototype double perovskite due to its high degree of B-site ordering and is a good case…
