To gain insight into the mechanism of charge-ordering transitions, which conventionally are pictured as a disproportionation of an ion M as 2M$^{n+}$ $\rightarrow$ M$^{(n+1)+}$ + M$^{(n-1)+}$, we (1) review and reconsider the charge state…
AgF2 is a layered material and a correlated charge transfer insulator with an electronic structure very similar to the parent compounds of cuprate high-Tc superconductors. It is also interesting for being a powerful oxidizer. Here we…
The Ag ion in the recently synthesized novel material Ag2NiO2 adopts an extremely unusual valency of 1/2, leaving the Ni ion as 3+, rather than the expected 2+. Using first principles calculations, we show that this mysterious subvalent…
We report a first-principles projector augmented wave (PAW) study on Na$_{0.5}$CoO$_2$. With the sodium ion ordered insulating phase being identified in experiments, pure density functional calculations fail to predict an insulating ground…
Charge transfer (CT) insulators are the parent phase of a large group of today's unconventional high-temperature superconductors. Here we study experimentally and theoretically the interband excitations of the CT insulator silver fluoride…
5$d$ transition metal oxides host a variety of exotic phases due to the comparable strength of Coulomb repulsion and spin-orbit coupling. Herein, by pursuing density-functional studies on a delta-doped quasi-two-dimensional iridate…
The structural and electronic properties of cubic GaN are studied within the local density approximation by the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbitals method. The Ga $3d$ electrons are treated as band states, and no shape approximation…
Conductor insulation is one of the key components needed to make Ag-alloy clad Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (Bi-2212/Ag) superconducting round wire (RW) successful for high field magnet applications as dielectric standoff and high winding current…
Magnetic properties of silver(II) compounds have been of interest in recent years. In covalent compounds, the main mechanism of interaction between paramagnetic sites is the superexchange via the connecting ligand. To date, little is known…
The low-temperature electronic and magnetic properties of NH$_4$V$_2$O$_5$, an isoelectronic analog of the spin-ladder compound $\alpha'$-NaV$_2$O$_5$, are investigated using DFT+$U$ calculations. Two charge-ordering patterns - zigzag and…
The oxidized Ag(111) surface has been studied by a combination of experimental and theoretical methods, scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and density functional theory (DFT). A large variety of…
We report magnetic and thermodynamic properties of a $4d^1$ (Mo$^{5+}$) magnetic insulator MoOPO$_4$ single crystal, which realizes a $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg spin-$1/2$ model on a stacked square lattice. The specific-heat measurements show a…
As the only semimetallic $d^{10}$-based delafossite, AgNiO$_2$ has received a great deal of attention due to both its unique semimetallicity and its antiferromagnetism in the NiO$_2$ layer that is coupled with a lattice distortion. In…
BaBiO3 is a material where formally Bi4+ ions with the half-filled 6s-states form the alternating set of Bi3+ and Bi5+ ions resulting in a charge ordered insulator. The charge ordering is accompanied by the breathing distortion of the BiO6…
The two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) found in KTaO3-based interfaces has garnered attention due to its remarkable electronic properties. In this study, we investigated the conducting system embedded at the Si3N4/Al//KTO(110)…
A recent experimental work has reported an excess of the non-linear conductivity in the charge density wave (CDW) sliding mode of the quasi one-dimensional compound (TaSe4)2I, when a magnetic field is applied co-linearly to the electric…
Normally $4d$ or $5d$ transition metals are in a low-spin state. Here using first-principles calculations, we report on a rare case of a high-spin $S$=1 magnetic state for the Ag$^{3+}$ ion in the double perovskite Cs$_{2}$KAgF$_{6}$. We…
Hydrogen exhibits qualitatively different charge states depending on the host material, as nicely explained by the state-of-the-art impurity-state calculation. Motivated by a recent experiment [Nature 546, 124 (2017)], we show that the…
The structural, electronic, and optical properties of twelve multicomponent oxides with layered structure, RAMO$_4$, where R$^{3+}$=In or Sc; A$^{3+}$=Al or Ga; and M$^{2+}$=Ca, Cd, Mg, or Zn, are investigated using first-principles density…
Copper(II) silver(II) sulfate crystallizes in a monoclinic CuSO4-related structure with P21/n symmetry. This quasi-ternary compound features [Ag(SO4)2]2- layers, while the remaining cationic sites may be occupied either completely or…
