The Bi/Ag(111), Pb/Ag(111), and Sb/Ag(111) surface alloys exhibit a two-dimensional band structure with a strongly enhanced Rashba-type spin-splitting, which is in part attributed to the structural asymmetry resulting from an outward…
Recently, a giant spin splitting has been observed in surface alloys on noble metal (111) surfaces as a result of a strong structural modification at the surface as well as the large atomic spin-orbit interaction (SOI) of the alloy atoms.…
Surface alloying is shown to produce electronic states with a very large spin-splitting. We discuss the long range ordered bismuth/silver(111) surface alloy where an energy bands separation of up to one eV is achieved. Such strong…
Surface alloys are a highly tunable class of low dimensional materials with the opportunity to tune and control the spin and charge carrier functionalities on the nanoscale. Here, we focus on the atomic and mesoscopic structural details of…
Carrying a large, pure spin magnetic moment of 7 $\mu$bohr/atom in the half-filled 4f shell, divalent europium is an outstanding element for assembling novel magnetic devices in which a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is polarized due…
By performing accurate ab-initio density functional theory calculations, we study the role of $4f$ electrons in stabilizing the magnetic-field-induced ferroelectric state of DyFeO$_{3}$. We confirm that the ferroelectric polarization is…
We analyze magnetic phases of monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides that are two-valley materials with electron-electron interactions. The exchange inter-valley scattering makes two-valley systems less stable to the spin…
Magnetic materials hosting topological band structures have attracted intense interest due to the interplay between magnetism and spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Here, using temperature- and polarization-dependent angle-resolved photoemission…
The peculiar field-dependent magnetism of Na0.82CoO2 has been investigated through an analysis of its DC and AC spin susceptibilities. To account for the easily activated narrow b2g-a1g gap of the crystal field for Co in the cobalt oxide…
Band splittings, chiral spin polarization and topological surface states generated by spin-orbit interactions at crystal surfaces are receiving a lot of attention for their potential device applications as well as fascinating physical…
This work is an analytic theoretical study of a 2D semiconductor with a Fermi surface that is split by the Zeeman coupling of electron spins to an external magnetic field in the presence of electron-electron interactions. For the first…
Gaining growing attention in spintronics is a class of magnets displaying zero net magnetization and spin-split electronic bands called altermagnets. Here, by combining density functional theory and symmetry analysis, we show that RuF$_4$…
We report the ab initio study of rare-earth adatoms (Gd) on an insulating surface. This surface is of interest because of previous studies by scanning tunneling microscopy showing spin excitations of transition metal adatoms. The present…
Two-dimensional metallic altermagnets are rare, and no correlated 2D material has been established to host large nonrelativistic spin splitting. Here we show that spontaneous orbital order, driven by electronic correlations and Fermi…
The superconducting pyrochlore oxide Cd2Re2O7 shows a structural transition with inversion symmetry breaking (ISB) at Ts1 = 200 K. A recent theory [L. Fu, Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 026401 (2015)] suggests that the origin is an electronic…
We present a theoretical study of surface states close to 3d transition metal adatoms (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) on a Cu(111) surface in terms of an embedding technique using the fully relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method. For each…
We report on the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of a monolayer of GdAg2, forming a moir\'e pattern on Ag(111). Combining scanning tunneling microscopy and ab-initio spin-polarized calculations, we show that the electronic…
We calculate the electronic band dispersion of graphene monolayer on a two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide substrate (GTMD) (viz., XY2 , X = Mo, W; Y = S, Se) around K and K prime points taking into account the interplay of the…
Altermagnetic (AM) compounds have recently emerged as a promising platform for realizing unconventional quantum phases, enabled by their unique spin-split band structure at zero net magnetization. Here, we present a first-principles…
Organic semiconductors interfaced with spin-orbit coupled materials offer a rich playground for fundamental studies of controlling spin dynamics in spintronic devices. The adsorbate-surface interactions at such interfaces play a key role in…
