Abstract
Recent advancements in the application of the Zaanen–Sawatzky–Allen (ZSA) theory have significantly expanded its scope in a wide range of materials beyond standard transition metal compounds, from high-temperature superconductors to topological insulators and low-dimensional systems. The combination of computational tools, such as dynamical mean field theory, along with experimental insights, allowed to further refine the theory, making it a valuable framework for classifying and predicting the electronic properties of large classes of complex materials with correlated electrons. Here, we extend the application of the ZSA approach to CaRuO, a widely studied system where, differently from what happens in the transition metal compounds usually analyzed in this context, the relevant excitations close to the Fermi energy involve electrons coming from partially filled shells, those of ruthenium atoms, rather than ones.
期刊介绍:
Physica C (Superconductivity and its Applications) publishes peer-reviewed papers on novel developments in the field of superconductivity. Topics include discovery of new superconducting materials and elucidation of their mechanisms, physics of vortex matter, enhancement of critical properties of superconductors, identification of novel properties and processing methods that improve their performance and promote new routes to applications of superconductivity.
The main goal of the journal is to publish:
1. Papers that substantially increase the understanding of the fundamental aspects and mechanisms of superconductivity and vortex matter through theoretical and experimental methods.
2. Papers that report on novel physical properties and processing of materials that substantially enhance their critical performance.
3. Papers that promote new or improved routes to applications of superconductivity and/or superconducting materials, and proof-of-concept novel proto-type superconducting devices.
The editors of the journal will select papers that are well written and based on thorough research that provide truly novel insights.
