We are investigating the magnetic state of materials at low T’s. Magnetism, to a great extent, is a phenomenon still better investigated experimentally. It is a low energy phenomenon that demands high accuracy from first principles methods. Nevertheless experiments can derive insights and guidance from first principles theory in search of new effects. Our main interest is the investigation of conductive materials where there exists a strong relationship between magnetism and transport, particularly novel half metal systems, such as CoS2. This research is inspired by and assists the experimental effort on magnetic hetero-structures at the University of Minnesota MRSEC.
