- Description
- Spin-polarized first-principles density-functional electronic structure calculations were performed for 73-atoms embedded-clusters representing antiferromagnetic <math>RENi_2B_2C\!\,</math> <math>(RE = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Ho, Tm)\!\,</math>. A substantial difference in the extent of the exchange-polarization of the conduction electrons between early and late rare-earth compounds is revealed. This result is believed to be relevant to phenomena of coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism in these compounds.
