We investigate a spin reorientation transition (SRT) in ultrathin magnetic films by Monte-Carlo simulations. We assume that the lateral size of the film is relatively small and it has a single-domain structure. To gain insights into the…
Superconductivity in the Bechgaard salts series of quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors occurs on the verge of spin-density-wave ordering when hydrostatic pressure is applied. The sequence of instabilities is intimately connected to…
In strongly correlated materials, cooperative behavior of the electrons causes a variety of quantum ordered states that may, in some cases, coexist. It has long been believed, however, that such coexistence among ferromagnetic ordering,…

Against expectations, robust switchable ferroelectricity has been recently observed in ultrathin (1 nm) ferroelectric films exposed to air [V. Garcia $et$ $al.$, Nature {\bf 460}, 81 (2009)]. Based on first-principles calculations, we show…
A ferroelectric is a material with a polar structure whose polarity can be reversed by applying an electric field. In metals, the itinerant electrons tend to screen electrostatic forces between ions, helping to explain why polar metals are…
