In addition, its crystal lattice is compatible with Si, making it possible to integrate it with non-magnetic semiconducting structures. Therefore, we investigate this material by finding the effective $\\boldsymbol{k}\\cdot\\boldsymbol{p}$ Hamiltonian for the electron- and hole bands. We base this description on \\textit{ab initio} calculations and classify the electronic bands by their symmetry. As a result, we find that CuFeS$_2$ exhibits spin-polarized bands and an anomalous Hall effect. Finally, we suggest using cyclotron resonance to verify our proposed effective mass tensors at the conduction band minimum and valence band maximum.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-08-17T11:50:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "low-energy properties", "antiferromagnetic semiconductor cufes", "magnetic symmetry class", "conduction band minimum", "valence band maximum" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
