Phonon-derived behaviors are important indicators of novel phenomena in transition metal trihalides, including spin liquid behavior, two-dimensional magnetism, and spin-lattice coupling. However, phonons and their dependence on spin…
The spin-frustrated conductor Mn$_3$Pt exhibits a characteristic magnetic structure called partial disorder in which some spin sites can form magnetic order through the generation of non-ordered sites that locally relieve the frustration.…
The influence of configurational disorder on the magnetic properties of diluted Heisenberg spin systems is studied with regard to the ferromagnetic stability of diluted magnetic semiconductors. The equation of motion of the magnon Green's…
Since the development of the nonlocal correlation functional vdW-DF, the family of van der Waals density functionals has grown to better describe a wide variety of systems. A recent generation of the vdW-DF family, vdW-DF3, featured a…
Mesoscopic-scale stacking reconfigurations are investigated when van der Waals films are stacked. We have developed a method to visualize complicated stacking structures and mechanical distortions simultaneously in stacked atom-thick films…
Van der Waals semiconducting magnets exhibit a cornucopia of physical phenomena originating from the interplay of their semiconducting and magnetic properties. However, a comprehensive understanding of how semiconducting processes and…
Wigner crystals are extremely fragile, which is shown to result from very strong geometric frustration germane to long-range Coulomb interactions. Physically, this is manifested by a very small characteristic energy scale for shear density…
Stacking of two-dimensional (2D) materials has emerged as a facile strategy for realising exotic quantum states of matter and engineering electronic properties. Yet, developments beyond the proof-of-principle level are impeded by the vast…
Cr$_{\frac{1}{4}}$NbSe$_2$ is a triangular lattice magnet in which magnetic Cr$^{3+}$ ions are intercalated to form triangular lattices between NbSe$_2$ van der Waals layers stacked along the c axis. By unpolarized and polarized neutron…
Magnetism in two-dimensional materials reveals phenomena distinct from bulk magnetic crystals, with sensitivity to charge doping and electric fields in monolayer and bilayer van der Waals magnet CrI3. Within the class of layered magnets,…
In this study, we conduct a comprehensive theoretical analysis of a Fibonacci quasicrystalline stacking of ferromagnetic layers, potentially realizable using van der Waals magnetic materials. We construct a model of this magnetic…
Single layer $\alpha$-ruthenium trichloride ($\rm\alpha-RuCl_3$) has been proposed as a potential quantum spin liquid. Graphene/$\rm RuCl_3$ heterobilayers have been extensively studied with a focus on the large interlayer electron transfer…
We focus on mesoscopic dislocation patterning via a continuum dislocation dynamics theory (CDD) in three dimensions (3D). We study three distinct physically motivated dynamics which consistently lead to fractal formation in 3D with rather…
Peeling, shearing, and sliding are important mechanical phenomena in van der Waals solids. However, theoretically they have been studied mostly using minimal periodic cells and in the context of accurate quantum simulations. Here, we…
We study the effect of magnetic scattering on transport in a system with strong structural disorder, using exact finite size calculation of the low frequency optical conductivity. At weak electron-spin coupling spin disorder leads to a…
Material functionality can be strongly determined by structure extending only over nanoscale distances. The pair distribution function presents an opportunity to shift structural studies beyond idealized crystal models and investigate…
Two-dimensional (2D) layered magnetic materials are generating a great amount of interest for the next generation of electronic devices thanks to their remarkable properties associated to spin dynamics. The recently discovered layered…
The field of two-dimensional (2D) materials has expanded to multilayered systems where electronic, optical, and mechanical properties change-often dramatically-with stacking order, thickness, twist, and interlayer spacing [1-5]. For…
In this paper, we investigate the ground state of two-dimensional disordered cylinders which contain spinless, interacting electrons using the Hartree-Fock approximation. Calculations of the deviation of the polarization from uniformity…
Recent experiments revealed that monolayer $\alpha$-RuCl$_3$ can be obtain by chemical exfoliation method and exfoliation or restacking of nanosheets can manipulate the magnetic properties of the materials. In this present paper, the…
