The magnetic properties of the pyrochlore iridate material Eu$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ (5$d^5$) have been studied based on the first principle calculations, where the crystal field splitting $\Delta$, spin-orbit coupling (SOC) $\lambda$ and Coulomb…
Cu2(pymca)3(ClO4) (pymca: pyrimidine-2-carboxylate) consists of a slightly distorted honeycomb lattice of Cu2+ spins, which shows no long-range magnetic order down to 0.6 K. A magnetization study revealed 1/3 and 2/3 plateau phases [A.…
The mutual coupling of spin and lattice degrees of freedom is ubiquitous in magnetic materials and potentially creates exotic magnetic states in response to the external magnetic field. Particularly, geometrically frustrated magnets serve…
Applying linear response and the magnetic force theorem in correlated density functional theory, the inter-sublattice exchange constants of antiferromagnetic Eu are calculated and found to vanish near the pressure of P$_c$=82 GPa, just…
We present a theory of superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene in which attraction is generated between electrons on the same honeycomb sublattice when the system is close to a sublattice polarization instability. The resulting Cooper…
The solid solution 122 compounds, Eu(Co$_{1-x}$Ni$_{x}$)$_{2}$P$_{2}$, show valence transition between divalent state and intermediate valence states at Eu, which is firmly correlated to multiple degrees of freedom in the solid such as the…
The physics of spin-orbit entangled magnetic moments of $4d$ and $5d$ transition metal ions on a honeycomb lattice has been much explored in search for unconventional magnetic orders or quantum spin liquids expected for compass spin models,…
Anyonic excitations emerging from a Kitaev spin liquid can form a basis for quantum computers. Searching for such excitations motivated intense research on the honeycomb iridate materials. However, access to a spin liquid ground state has…

Intercalation of rare earth metals ($RE$ = Eu, Dy, and Gd) is achieved by depositing the $RE$ metal on graphene that is grown on silicon-carbide (SiC) and by subsequent annealing at high temperatures to promote intercalation. STM images of…
The current family of experimentally realized two-dimensional magnetic materials consist of 3$d$ transition metals with very weak spin-orbit coupling. In contrast, we report a new platform in a chemically bonded and layered 4$d$ oxide, with…
Over the past five years, significant progress has been made in understanding the magnetism and electronic properties of CaAl$_2$Si$_2$-type Eu$M_2X_2$ ($M$ = Zn, Cd; $X$ = P, As) compounds. Prior theoretical work and experimental studies…
In intermetallic compounds with zero-orbital momentum ($L=0$) the magnetic anisotropy and the electronic band structure are interconnected. Here, we investigate this connection on divalent Eu and trivalent Gd intermetallic compounds. We…
The interaction between the electronic and structural degrees of freedom is central to several intriguing phenomena observed in condensed-matter physics. In magnetic materials, magnetic interactions couple to lattice degrees of freedom,…
