High-field magnetization of the spin-$1/2$ antiferromagnet $\alpha$-Cu$_2$V$_2$O$_7$ was measured in pulsed magnetic fields of up to 56 T in order to study its magnetic phase diagram. When the field was applied along the easy axis (the…
We present an overview of the microscopic theory of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) coupling in strongly correlated 3d compounds. Most attention in the paper centers around the derivation of the Dzyaloshinskii vector, its value, orientation,…
We report the determination of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction, the dominant magnetic anisotropy term in the \kagome spin-1/2 compound {\herbert}. Based on the analysis of the high-temperature electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra, we…
The surface of a topological insulator hosts a very special form of a quasi-two dimensional metallic system when it is embedded in a topologically trivial medium like the vacuum. The electronic properties of this unusual 2D metal are…
It has been proposed that topological insulators can be best characterized not as surface conductors, but as bulk magnetoelectrics that -- under the right conditions-- have a universal quantized magnetoelectric response coefficient…
The electronic and magnetic properties of spin-1/2 pyrochlores R2V2O7 were investigated on the basis of density-functional calculations. Contrary to the common belief, the spin-1/2 V4+ ions are found to have a substantial easy-axis…
The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction is an antisymmetric exchange interaction that is responsible for the emergence of chiral magnetism. The origin of the DM interaction, however, remains to be identified albeit the large number of…
We investigate the necessary conditions for the emergence of complex, noncoplanar magnetic configurations in a Kondo lattice model with classical local moments on the geometrically frustrated Shastry-Sutherland lattice and their evolution…
We theoretically study the joint influence of uniform Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions, symmetric exchange anisotropy (with its axis parallel to the DM vector) and arbitrarily oriented magnetic fields on one-dimensional spin 1/2…
We propose a new type of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions which act on high-rank multipolar moments such as quadrupolar and octupolar moments. Here we consider 5d1 systems with broken spatial inversion symmetry, where the interplay…
The mechanism of spin reorientation in Nd$_{2}$Fe$_{14}$B, which is a host crystal of a well-known neodymium permanent magnet, is studied by combining first-principles calculations and Monte Carlo simulations. The spin reorientation is…
We present a Schwinger-boson approach to the Heisenberg model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. We write the anisotropic interactions in terms of Schwinger bosons keeping the correct symmetries present in the spin representation,…
Motivated by the discovery of multiferroicity in the geometrically frustrated triangular antiferromagnet CuCrO$_2$ below its N\'eel temperature $T_N$, we investigate its magnetic and ferroelectric properties using ab initio calculations and…
In this work we study the interplay between the crystal structure and magnetism of the pyroarsenate \alpha-Cu_2As_2O_7 by means of magnetization, heat capacity, electron spin resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements as well as…
A magnetoelectric effect according to Katsura-Nagaosa-Balatsky mechanism in spin-1/2 $XY$ chain in transverse magnetic field is considered. A spatial orientation of the electric field is chosen to provide an exact solution of the model in…
We study the magnetization process in two-dimensional S=1/2 spin systems, to discuss the appearance of a plateau structure. The following three cases are considered: (1) the Heisenberg antiferromagnet and multiple-spin exchange model on the…
We report on a study of the electronic and magnetic properties of the triangular antiferromagnetic $\{Cu_3\}$ single-molecule magnet, based on spin density functional theory. Our calculations show that the low-energy magnetic properties are…
The magnetic phase diagram of magnetoelectric LiCoPO$_4$ is established using neutron diffraction and magnetometry in fields up to 25.9T applied along the crystallographic $b$-axis. For fields greater than 11.9T the magnetic unit cell…
This work reports on magnetic, dielectric, thermodynamic and magnetoelectric properties of Gd$_{1-x}$Y$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$, with 0 \leq x \leq 0.4, with emphasis on the (x, T) phase diagram, towards unraveling the role of the driving mechanisms…
We study the spin-1/2 XX model extended with three-spin interactions of the XZX+YZY and XZY-YZX types. We solve the model exactly and obtain the ground state phase diagram as a function of the two three-spin coupling strengths. We show that…
