The study of magnetism in two-dimensional materials has garnered significant interest, driven by fundamental investigations into low-dimensional magnetic phenomena and their potential for applications in spintronic devices. Through…

The nature of magnetism in layered Ruddlesden-Popper nickelates remains a central open question, particularly in light of recent observations of spin-wave-like magnetic excitations in metallic multilayer compounds. Here, we develop a…

The infinite-layer nickelates, proposed as analogs to superconducting cuprates, provide a promising platform for exploring the mechanisms of unconventional superconductivity. However, the superconductivity under atmospheric pressure has…

We report evidence that the experimentally observed small deformation of antiferromagnetic NiO modifies the symmetry of the crystal in such a way that the antiferromagnetic state becomes an eigenstate of the electronic Hamiltonian. This…

The recent discovery of pressure-induced superconductivity in the bilayer La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ (LNO) has opened a new platform for the study of unconventional superconductors. In this publication, we investigate theoretically the whole family…

By employing first-principles electronic structure calculations we investigate nickelate superlattices [LaNiO$_3$]$_1$/[LaAlO$_3$]$_1$ and [LaNiO$_3$]$_1$/[SrTiO$_3$]$_1$ with (001) orientation under epitaxial tensile strain. Within density…

High-T$_c$ superconductivity has recently been discovered in Ruddlesden-Popper phase nickelates under pressure, where the low-energy electronic structure is dominated by Ni $d_{x^2 - y^2}$ and $d_{z^2}$ orbitals. However, the respective…

For Y$_2$C$_3$ with a superconducting critical temperature (T$_c$) $\sim$18 K, zone-center imaginary optical phonon modes have been found for the high-symmetry $I$-$43d$ structure due to C dimer wobbling motion and electronic instability…

We develop a first-principles framework for finite-temperature structural optimization that incorporates vibrational contributions to the free energy through anharmonic phonon theory. We extend and further improve the efficiency of the…

Ferromagnetic \nmg has unique magnetoelastic properties. These are investigated by detailed computational studies of the phonon dispersion curves for the non-modulated cubic \Ltw and tetragonal structures. For the \Ltw\ structure, a…

We investigate the optical properties of the normal state of the infinite-layer La$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_2$ using DFT+DMFT. We find a correlated metal which exhibits substantial transfer of spectral weight to high energies relative to the…

The discovery of high-Tc superconductivity around 80K in bilayer nickelate La3Ni2O7 under high pressure has expanded the family of high-Tc superconductors above the nitrogen boiling temperature. Recent studies have further shown that…

While ultra-thin layers of the LaNiO$_3$ film exhibit a remarkable metal-insulator transition as the film thickness becomes smaller than a few unit cell (u.c.), the formation of oxygen vacancies and their effects on the correlated…

Different configurations of magnetic orders and cation distributions for NiFe2O4 are studied by the density functional based methods with the possible inclusion of the on-site Coulomb interaction U. The lowest energy state is an inverse…

The phonon dispersion relation of NiTi in the simple cubic B2 structure is computed using first-principles density-functional perturbation theory with pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis set. Lattice instabilities are observed to occur…

LaNiO$_3$ (LNO) is an intriguing member of the rare-earth nickelates in exhibiting a metal-insulator transition for a critical film thickness of about 4 unit cells [Son et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 96, 062114 (2010)]; however, such thin films…

We report the observation of superconductivity in infinite-layer Ca-doped LaNiO$_2$ (La$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$NiO$_2$) thin films and construct their phase diagram. Unlike the metal-insulator transition in Nd- and Pr-based nickelates, the undoped…

TiPO$_4$ shows interesting structural and magnetic properties as temperature and pressure are varied, such as a spin-Peierls phase transition and the development of incommensurate modulations of the lattice. Recently, high pressure…
