摘 要:A computational search for stable structures among bothαandβphases of ternary ATB4 borides(A=Mg,Ca,Sr,Ba,Al,Ga,and Zn,T is 3d or 4d transition elements)has been *** found thatα-ATB4 compounds with A=Mg,Ca,Al,and T=V,Cr,Mn,Fe,Ni,and Co form a family of structurally stable or almost stable *** systems are metallic in non-magnetic states and characterized by the formation of the localized molecular-like state of 3d transition metal atom dimers,which leads to the appearance of numerous Van Hove singularities in the electronic *** closeness of such singularities to the Fermi level can be easily tuned by electron *** the atoms in the middle of the 3d row(Cr,Mn,and Fe),these singularities led to magnetic instabilities and magnetic ground states with a weakly metallic or semiconducting *** states appear as non-trivial coexistence of the different spin ladders formed by magnetic dimers of 3d *** magnetic states can be characterized as an analog of the spin glass *** attempts to produce MgFeB4 and associated challenges are discussed,and promising directions for further synthetic studies are formulated.
