RT Dissertation/Thesis T1 Electronic, magnetic and structural properties of systems close to a metal-insulator transition: an ab initio study A1 Piñeiro Rodríguez, Alberto K1 transition metals K1 Physics K1 TiOCl AB As a general summary, we note that ab initio techniques allow to describe the physics of compounds near a metal-insulator transition, or presenting different types of conduction depends on the spin-channel. Also, electronic structure properties and their variations with pressure or doping can be controlled, and this helps us predict new phenomenology and approach to describe possible technological applications in various functional materials.
