The semiconductor-to-ferromagnetic-metal transition in FeSb2
Abstract.We propose FeSb2 to be a nearly ferromagnetic small gap semiconductor, hence a direct analog of FeSi. We find that despite different compositions and crystal structures, in the local…
Electronic structure of Fe4Si4–x Gex (x = 0–4) compounds: ab initio calculation
The structural and electronic properties of Fe4Si4–x Gex (x = 0–4) with a cubic B20‐type structure are investigated by density functional theory using an ab initio method. The calculations are based…
Metallic state in cubic FeGe beyond its quantum phase transition.
TLDR
Results of electrical resistivity and structural investigations on the cubic modification of FeGe under high pressure suggest that the suppression of T(C) disagrees with the standard notion of a quantum critical phase transition.

TLDR
Local-density calculations of the electronic structure as a function of temperature T and applied magnetic field H are presented for FeSi, finding that low-T properties are understood from mean-field calculations based on the band structure, but spin fluctuations have to be invoked to describe properties for T larger than about 200 K.

TLDR
It is concluded that, given the available alternatives, a Kondo insulator description---involving an extreme renormalization of the noninteracting bands---is most appropriate for FeSi.

TLDR
The optical response incorporating simple finite-temperature effects, namely, electron-phonon scattering of intrinsic carriers, is calculated and it is found that this provides a poor direct fit to recent infrared measurements.
