AbstractThe superconductivity has a long history. One of the most recent discoveries is the superconductivity in the Fe- based family with anti- ferromagnetic state at ambient temperature. In this type of material, the transition to the superconductivity state was found in presence of different dopants. In this report we present the results of calculations of the cluster representing Ba4Fe5As8 in presence of Rh and Pd as dopants. The methodology of Embedded Cluster Method at the MP2 electron correlation level was employed. The population analysis showed two main features: the independence of charge density transfer from the spin density transfer and, the presence of orbitals with electron density but without spin density. The observed properties correspond to the RVB mechanism for the superconductivity transition proposed by Anderson for cuprates. This confirms our conclusions obtained in the same material doped by Co and Ni.

ABSTRACTThe doped iron arsenides present outstanding properties, one of them is an unconventional superconductivity, an unusual coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. We calculated the electronic structure of the pure and Ni-doped BaF e2As2 by the embedded cluster method at the electron correlation level; the latter is calculated through the second- order Møller Plesset perturbation theory. For the doped clusters, we calculated the relaxation of the first and second neighbors of the impurity by optimizing their positions in the cluster. The total electronic density is analyzed through natural bond orbitals and the population of each atomic orbital (basis function) is determined; the robustness of this determination is tested comparing results obtained for the unrelaxed and relaxed cluster. The orbital population analysis uncovers some properties of magnetism and superconductivity in BaFe2As2. From our results, linear elasticity allows us to estimate the relaxation volume of Ni impurity.

We propose here that the pseudogap phase of high Tc superconductors is probably unconventional spin density wave (USDW). We present our analysis on the angular dependent magnetoresistance (ADMR) in the pseudogap phase which should be accessible experimentally. Also this result applies also to the AF phase of URu2Si2. We show that this model is consistent with the optical dichroism seen by ARPES.

The clean and Ag-covered MgO(100) surface is investigated by an all-electron, total energy, ab initio DMol molecular method (Density functional theory for Molecular systems). A large cluster of 100 atoms (including 50 oxygen and 50 magnesium) is built to represent the surface. A point charge embedding is used to investigate the electronic properties. The small relaxation of the surface, referred to as rumpling, is exhibited and shown to have barely no effect on the adsorption of Ag on the surface. The oxygen site is found to be the most stable for Ag atom adsorption, in good agreement with previous ab initio theoretical studies. The adsorption of a five-Ag-atom layer on the MgO(100) surface provides new and interesting results concerning the surface coverage dependence. We have used the unique ability of cluster methods to study the structural effects of the 3% mismatch at the Ag/MgO(100) interface, and we show that Ag atoms are likely to grow on the surface without epitaxy at low coverages.
