1. Configurational and Magnetic Interactions in Multicomponent Systems
Sammanfattning : This thesis is a theoretical study of configurational and magnetic interactions in multicomponent solids. These interactions are the projections onto the configurational and magnetic degrees of freedom of the underlying electronic quantum mechanical system, and can be used to model, explain and predict the properties of materials.

2. Magnetic Bicrystal Junctions - a Study of Half-Metallic Manganite Grain Boundaries
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents studies on magnetic bicrystal junctions. In these, films on either side of the junction are structurally and magnetically misoriented. This type of device enables us to study junction magnetoresistance and spin polarized charge transport between ferromagnets with well defined directions of magnetization. LÄS MER
3. Electronic Structure and Statistical Methods Applied to Nanomagnetism, Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors and Spintronics
Sammanfattning : This thesis is divided in three parts. In the first part, a study of materials aimed for spintronics applications is presented. More specifically, calculations of the critical temperature in diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) and half-metallic ferromagnets are presented using a combination of electronic structure and statistical methods.

4. Theoretical Descriptions of Complex Magnetism in Transition Metals and Their Alloys
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, various methods for studying solids by simulations of quantummechanical equations, have been applied to transition metals and their alloys. Transition metals such as Fe, Ni, and Mn, are not only cornerstones in modern technology, but also key components in the very fabric of the Earth interior. LÄS MER
5. Ab initio studies of advanced functional materials with complex magnetism
Sammanfattning : For centuries, magnetism of materials has been an inevitable part of human civilization. Only in the last century, the mysteries of magnetism started to unfold thanks to the development of quantum theory of solids. LÄS MER
