Spin-density functional theory is applied to describe non-collinear itinerant
magnetism. For this the theory is formulated and a new implementation is given. It
serves to perform self-consistent energy-band calculations for the compound Mn3Sn which
possesses a triangular magnetic structure. Our results are discussed in detail and compared
with experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
