Spin-wave excitations are fundamental to understanding the behavior of magnetic materials and hold promise for future information and communication technologies. Yet, modeling these accurately in transition-metal compounds remains…
In this study, we use Hubbard-Corrected density functional theory (DFT+$U$) to derive spin model Hamiltonians consisting of Heisenberg exchange interactions up to the fourth nearest neighbors and bi-quadratic interactions. We map the…
Magnetism of transition metal (TM) oxides is usually described in terms of the Heisenberg model, with orientation-independent interactions between the spins. However, the applicability of such a model is not fully justified for TM oxides…
Electronic correlations beyond static mean-field theories are of fundamental importance in describing the properties of complex materials - such as transition-metal oxides - where the low-energy physics is driven by localized d or f…
Transition metal oxides belong to a genre of quantum materials essential for the exploration of theoretical methods for quantifying electronic correlation. Finding an efficient and accurate first principles method for the assertion of such…

The pressure-driven insulator-metal transition is a crucial topic in condensed matter physics. However, even for the prototypical strongly correlated system, NiO, the critical pressure for transition remains debated. In this work, we…
