"Theory of complex transport in magnetic metals and alloys"

<br>
<br>
In this talk we will review a recent progress in the first-principles study of
transport properties of magnetic metals and  alloys based on the Kubo-Greenwood
approach as formulated in the framework of the dirac version of the
tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital method. A possible disorder in studied
systems is described by the coherent potential approximation.
Specifically, we will study: (i) The spin-disorder resistivity (SDR) of
transition metal ferromagnets, rare-earth metals, and Ni-based Heusler alloys. 
We identify the SDR at the Curie temperature with the residual resistivity of
the corresponding system evaluated in the framework of the disordered local
moment (DLM) model [1];
(ii) the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and the anomalous Hall effect (AHE)
of chosen Ni-based transition metal alloys [2] as well as ordering Pd-rich PdFe
alloys with complex lattice [3];
and the AHE in chosen half-metallic Heusler alloys with native disorder [4].
Results of theoretical calculations will be compared with available experimental
data.
