Features of formation of electron band structure and physical properties of ferromagnetic semiconductor EuO

Abstract

The features of the formation of the electronic band structure and magnetism of EuO are discussed. The results of the latest calculations performed by the modern electron density functional theory is given. All known unique physical parameters of it monoxide including as the phase of variable composition are presented. What determines the nature of the electronic insulator-metal transition in EuO ​1-δ -phase at T < T c . © 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature.
