RESUMO
Systematic studies of the transport properties of La(0.67)Ca(0.33)Mn(1-x)Fe(x)O3 (x=0-0.3) systems showed that with increasing Fe-doping content x the resistance increases and the insulator-metal transition temperature moves to lower temperature. For small doping content, the transport property satisfies metal transport behavior below the transition temperature, and above the transition temperature it satisfies the small polaron model. This behavior can be explained by Fe3+ doping, which easily forms Fe(3+)-O(2-)-Mn4+ channel, suppressing the double exchange Mn(3+)-O(2-)-Mn4+ channel and enhancing the spin scattering of Mn ions induced by antiferromagnetic clusters of Fe ions.
RESUMO
Different classes of first-principle pseudopotentials are compared and various schemes for pseudopotential generation based on norm conservation are discussed in this paper. BHS (Bachelet, Hamann, and Schlüter)-scheme and V (Vanderbilt)-modifications are used to derive the KB (Kleinman and Bylander)-pseudopotentials and pseudo wave functions of bismuth. Quality test of pseudopotentials shows that no ghost states occur in the logarithmic derivatives of pseudo wave functions of Bismuth. The obtained bond length of bismuth dimer with this type of pseudopotentials is in good agreement with previous accurately calculated ab initio quantum chemical result.
