A computational scheme for the investigation of complex materials with strongly interacting electrons is formulated which is able to treat atomic displacements, and hence structural relaxation, caused by electronic correlations. It combines…
We introduce a novel computational approach for the investigation of complex correlated electron materials which makes it possible to evaluate interatomic forces and thereby determine atomic displacements and structural transformations…
We develop a procedure to determine the portion of exact Hartree-Fock exchange interaction contained in a hybrid density functional to treat the range of electronic correlation governing the physics of a system as a function of a…
We investigate the origin of the orbital ordering in the paramagnetic phase of KCrF$_3$. All previous studies described structural parameters of the paramagnetic phase using a magnetic ordering in the compound. Our simulations of real…
We review recent results on the properties of materials with correlated electrons obtained within the LDA+DMFT approach, a combination of a conventional band structure approach based on the local density approximation (LDA) and the…
In this paper I give a detailed account of an ab initio methodology for describing strong electronic correlations in nanoscale devices hosting transition metal atoms with open $d$- or $f$-shells. The method combines Kohn-Sham Density…
We use first principles density functional theory to calculate electronic and magnetic properties of TiF3 using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method. The LDA approximation predicts a fully saturated ferromagnetic metal…
It is shown that the layered antiferromagnetic order in stoechiometric LaMnO_3 cannot be understood purely from electronic interactions. On the contrary, it mainly results from strong cooperative Jahn-Teller deformations. Those involve a…
Motivated by the puzzling report of the observation of a ferromagnetic insulating state in LaMnO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ heterostructures, we calculate the electronic and magnetic state of LaMnO$_3$, coherently matched to a SrTiO$_3$ square substrate…
Materials with correlated electrons often respond very strongly to external or internal influences, leading to instabilities and states of matter with broken symmetry. This behavior can be studied theoretically either by evaluating the…
We propose a method that incorporates explicit derivative discontinuity of the total energy with respect to the number of electrons and treats both delocalization and static correlation effects in density functional calculations. Our…
LaMnO$_3$ is considered as a prototypical Jahn-Teller perovskite compound, exhibiting a metal to insulator transition at $T_{JT} = 750K$ related to the joint appearance of an electronic orbital ordering and a large lattice Jahn-Teller…
The orbital, lattice, and spin ordering phenomena in KCuF3 are investigated by means of LDA+U calculations, based on ab-initio pseudopotentials.We examine the Cu-3d orbital ordering and the associated Jahn-Teller distortion in several…
We present an efficient \textit{ab initio} method for calculating the electronic structure and total energy of strongly correlated electron systems. The method extends the traditional Gutzwiller approximation for one-particle operators to…
With the development of electronic structure theory, a new class of materials - quantum ones has been recognized by the community. Traditionally, it has been believed that the properties of such compounds cannot be described within the…
We investigate the Jahn-Teller structural phase transition in LaMnO$_3$ at $T_{JT} \simeq 750$ K using molecular dynamics simulations based on machine-learning force fields trained on ab initio data. Analysis of the site-site correlation…
The interaction between electrons and lattice vibrations determines key physical properties of materials, including their electrical and heat transport, excited electron dynamics, phase transitions, and superconductivity. We present a new…
The interaction of coexisting structural instabilities in multiferroic materials gives rise to intriguing coupling phenomena and extraordinarily rich phase diagrams, both in bulk materials and strained thin films. Here we investigate the…
We report a comprehensive electronic structure investigation of the paramagnetic (PM), the large moment antiferromagnetic (LMAF), and the hidden order (HO) phases of URu$_2$Si$_2$. We have performed relativistic full-potential calculations…
In this paper we present an accurate numerical scheme for extracting inter-atomic exchange parameters ($J_{ij}$) of strongly correlated systems, based on first-principles full-potential electronic structure theory. The electronic structure…
