Here we demonstrate that MnTe epitaxial films with zinc-blend structure and MnTe/ZnTe multilayers should show ferroelectric polarization in antiferromagnetically (AFM) ordered state and thus belong to multiferroics. Spontaneous…

In the manganite Nd0.5Ca0.5MnO3, charge ordering occurs at much higher temperature than the antiferromagnetic order (TCO=250K,TN=160K). The magnetic behavior of the phase TN<T<TCO is puzzling: its magnetization and susceptibility are…

Magnetic and orbital structures in KCuF$_{3}$ are revisited by the cluster self-consistent field approach developed recently. We clearly showed that due to the inherent frustration, the ground state of the system with the superexchange and…

The phase diagram of $Pr_{1-x}Ca_xMnO_3$ is modified x $\le$ 0.3, which suggests a reevaluation of the phase diagram of other manganites in that doping region. Rather than an orbital ordered phase reaching up to high temperatures of…

Materials exhibiting electronic inhomogeneities at the nanometer scale have enormous potential for applications. Magnetic polarons are one such type of inhomogeneity which link the electronic, magnetic and lattice degrees of freedom in…

MnSiN$_2$ is a transition metal nitride with Mn and Si ions displaying an ordered distribution on the cation sites of a distorted wurtzite-derived structure. The Mn$^{2+}$ ions reside on a 3D diamond-like covalent network with strong…

We have succeeded in growing single crystals of SmPt2Si2 and have performed electrical resistivity, magnetization and specific heat measurements. The magnetic susceptibility shows that SmPt2Si2 is an Ising magnet with the…

Pt nanocontacts, like those formed in mechanically controlled break junctions, are shown to develop spontaneous local magnetic order. Our density functional calculations predict that a robust local magnetic order exists in the atoms…

Type, degree and evolution of structural order are important aspects for understanding and controlling the properties of highly spin polarized Heusler compounds, in particular with respect to the optimal film growth procedure. In this work,…

We analyzed the possible magnetic and orbital orderings of double perovskites, using a simple extension of the double exchange model well suited for these compounds. Orbital ordering is favored by the on site repulsion at the Fe ions. We…

Spin-orbit coupling in magnetic systems lacking inversion symmetry can give rise to non trivial spin textures. Magnetic thin films and heterostructures are potential candidates for the formation of skyrmions and other non-collinear spin…

Motivated by experimental and theoretical interest in realizing multipolar orders in $d$-orbital materials, we discuss the quantum magnetism of $J\!=\!2$ ions which can be realized in spin-orbit coupled oxides with $5d^2$ transition metal…

In a collinear magnet, the predominant magnetic moments are collectively aligned along a specific spatial orientation, and this alignment may yield intriguing phenomena such as spin orientation driven polarization. It is well known that…

There is great interest in hybrid organic-inorganic materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The compounds [C(NH$_{2}$)$_{3}$]M(HCOO)$_{3}$, where M=Cu$^{2+}$ or Cr$^{2+}$ are Jahn-Teller (JT) active ions, are MOF with perovskite…

Using systematic effective field theory, we explore the properties of antiferromagnetic films subjected to magnetic and staggered fields that are either mutually aligned or mutually orthogonal. We provide low-temperature series for the…

In spinel-type nickelate NiRh$_2$O$_4$, magnetic ordering is observed upon the sample synthesized via kinetically controlled low-temperature solid-state metathesis, as opposed to previously-reported samples obtained through conventional…

Motivated by the recent ARPES measurements (Evtushinsky et. al., PRL {\bf 105}, 147201 (2010)) and evidence for the density-wave state for the charge and orbital ordering (Garc\'{i}a et al., PRL {\bf 109}, 107202 (2012)) in…

Magnetically-driven ferroelectric atomic displacements of the order of 10$^{-3} Angstrom have been observed in orthorhombic (perovskite like) YMnO$_3$ by a single-crystal synchrotron x-ray diffraction. The refined polar structure shows the…

We argue that collinearly ordered states which exist in strongly frustrated spin systems for special rational values of the magnetization are stabilized by thermal as well as quantum fluctuations. These general predictions are tested by…

The synergistic interplay of different interactions in materials leads to the emergence of novel quantum phenomena. Spin-orbit and vibronic couplings usually counteract each other, however, in cubic $d^1$ double perovskites they coexist and…
