Twisting layers provide a rich ore for exotic physics in low dimensions. Despite the abundant discoveries of twistronics from the aspect of electronic structures, ferroic moir\'e textures are more plain and thus less concerned. Rigid…

Magneto-toroidal order, also called ferrotoroidicity, is the most recently established type of ferroic state. It is based on a spontaneous and uniform alignment of unit-cell-sized magnetic whirls, called magneto-toroidal moments, associated…

Molecules with an odd number of electrons typically display paramagnetic behaviour in a uniform magnetic field. Single-molecule toroics -- a family of open shell lanthanide complexes -- instead display an unprecedented vanishing…

Magnetic-ferroic ordering and magnetic-toroidal moments are essential concepts in molecular electronics and magnetics. The magnetic toroidal moment is critical in understanding new electronic states and their possible uses. This paper…

To understand the collinear-magnetism-driven ferroelectricity in multiferroic Ca3CoMnO6 compound, we have established an elastic diatomic Ising spin-chain model with axial-next-nearest-neighbor interaction to describe its magnetoelectric…

We study the quantum dynamics of polygonal rare-earth molecular clusters with Ising-type ion magnetization. It is shown that the ground state of such systems is a non-magnetic quasi-doublet of states with oppositely twisted ion spins. The…

Multiferroic hexagonal rare-earth ferrites (h-RFeO3, R=Sc, Y, and rare earth), in which the improper ferroelectricity and canted antiferromagnetism coexist, have been advocated as promising candidates to pursue the room-temperature…

In the search for topological phases in correlated electron systems, iridium-based pyrochlores A2Ir2O7 -- materials with 5d transition-metal ions -- provide fertile grounds. Several novel topological states have been predicted but the…

Quantum-disordered magnetic ground states are challenging to identify in three-dimensional (3D) oxides, where strong exchange pathways typically favour long-range magnetic order or spin freezing. The quadruple perovskite…

Two dimensional suspensions of spherical colloids subject to periodic external fields exhibit a rich variety of molecular crystalline phases. We study in simulations the ground state configurations of dimeric and trimeric systems, that are…

The three primary ferroics, namely ferromagnets, ferroelectrics and ferroelastics exhibit corresponding large (or even giant) magnetocaloric,electrocaloric and elastocaloric effects when a phase transition is induced by the application of…

It has been shown that the crystal-field interactions can produce a non- magnetic singlet ground state for the highly-correlated d6 system situated in the quasi-octahedral crystal field (CEF) surrounding provided the spin-orbit interactions…

Magnetoelectric coupling in helical multiferroics allows to steer spin order with electric fields. Here we show theoretically that in a helical multiferroic chain quantum information processing as well as quantum phases are highly sensitive…

The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic crystals and moir\'e engineering has opened the door for devising new magnetic ground states via competing interactions in moir\'e superlattices. Although a suite of interesting phenomena,…

The coexistence and coupling of ferroelasticity and magnetic ordering in a single material offers a great opportunity to realize novel devices with multiple tuning knobs. Complex oxides are a particularly promising class of materials to…

Spin orbit coupling provides a mechanism to lock the momentum of electron to its spin degree, recent years was revealed to be essential in arousing many novel physical behaviors. SrIrO3 is a typical metallic member of the strong spin orbit…

By systematic first-principles calculations, we study the electronic structure and magnetic property of SrCrO$_3$. Our results suggest that SrCrO$_3$ is a weakly correlated antiferromagnetic (AF) metal, a very rare situation in…

A toroidal dipole moment appears independent of the electric and magnetic dipole moment in the multipole expansion of electrodynamics. It arises naturally from vortex-like arrangements of spins. Observing and controlling spontaneous…

Combining strong electron correlations [1-4] and nontrivial electronic topology [5] holds great promise for discovery. So far, this regime has been rarely accessed and systematic studies are much needed to advance the field. Here we…

Emergence of novel quantum ground states in correlated electron systems with strong spin-orbit coupling has been a recent subject of intensive studies. While it has been realized that spin-orbit coupling can provide non-trivial band…
