We report broadband microwave absorption spectroscopy of the layered antiferromagnet CrCl3. We observe a rich structure of resonances arising from quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnetic dynamics. Due to the weak interlayer magnetic…
The antiferromagnetic semiconductor CuFeS$_2$ belongs to a magnetic symmetry class that is of interest for spintronics applications. In addition, its crystal lattice is compatible with Si, making it possible to integrate it with…
The prototypical diluted magnetic semiconductor Cd1-xMnxTe is a spin glass (x<0.6) or an antiferromagnet (x>0.6), but becomes ferromagnetic upon doping with a small amount of Cr atoms substituting for Mn. In order to investigate the origin…
We present a theoretical investigation of the electronic and magnetic structure of spinel CdCr_2Te_4 using density functional theory, its extensions via onsite Hubbard U interactions, and a screened-hybrid-functional exchange potential. We…
Traditional MXenes with intriguing mechanical and electronic properties, together with the fertilities of elemental compositions and chemical decorations have aroused much attentions. However, the semiconducting traits with direc band gap…
Two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) are an emerging class of atomically-thin superconductors, whose characteristics are highly prone to tailoring by surface functionalization. Here we explore the use of hydrogen…
The absence of inversion symmetry leads to a strong spin-orbit splitting of the upper valence band of semiconducting single layer transition metal dichalchogenides such as MoS$_2$ or WS$_2$. This permits a direct comparison of the…
The use of a foreign metallic cold source (CS) has recently been proposed as a promising approach toward the steep-slope field-effect-transistor (FET). In addition to the selection of source material with desired density of states-energy…
The mixed valence Cr compound NaCr$_2$O$_4$, synthesized using a high-pressure technique, offers a unique playground for investigating unconventional physical properties in condensed matter. In the present study, muon spin…
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…
\textit{Ab-initio} calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) are performed to study the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of two-dimensional (2D) free-standing honeycomb CrAs. We show that CrAs has low buckled…
Magnon-exciton coupling provides an unprecedented opportunity for the optical tunability of spin information and, viceversa, for the magnetic control of the optical response. Few-layered magnets are an ideal platform for the experimental…
We study the electronic structure and superconductivity in CuO$_2$ monolayer grown recently on $d$-wave cuprate superconductor Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$. Density functional theory calculations indicate significant charge transfer…
An antiferromagnetic (AF) spin fluctuation induced pairing model is proposed for the electron-doped cuprate superconductors. It suggests that, similar to the hole-doped side, the superconducting gap function is monotonic d_{x^2-y^2}-wave…
A bulk diluted magnetic semiconductor was found in the K and Mn co-doped BaCd2As2 system. Different from recently reported tetragonal ThCr2Si2-structured II-II-V based(Ba,K)(Zn,Mn)2As2, the Ba1-yKyCd2-xMnxAs2 system has a hexagonal…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials combined with the presence of surface nearly-free electrons (NFE) have been considered quite interesting platforms to be exploited for the development of 2D electronic devices. Further incorporation of foreign…
CaBi$_2$ is a recently discovered type-I superconductor with $T_c=2$~K and a layered crystal structure. In this work electronic structure, lattice dynamics and electron-phonon interaction are studied, with a special attention paid to the…
A key aspect of unconventional pairing by the antiferromagnetic spin-fluctuation mechanism is that the superconducting energy gap must have opposite sign on different parts of the Fermi surface. Recent observations of non-nodal gap…
The pressure-temperature-phase diagram of the new heavy-fermion superconductor CeAu$_2$Si$_2$ is markedly different from those studied previously. Indeed, superconductivity emerges, not on the verge, but deep inside the magnetic phase. In…
We investigate the capability of density functional theory (DFT) to appropriately describe the spin susceptibility, $\chi_s$, and the intervalley electron-phonon coupling in Li$_x$ZrNCl. At low doping, Li$_x$ZrNCl behaves as a…
