We present a new compound in the silver cobalt fluoride system, featuring paramagnetic silver (d9) and high-spin cobalt (d6), synthesized by solid state method in an autoclave under F2 overpressure. Based on powder X ray diffraction, we…
With the use of lattice dynamics calculation within hybrid HSE06 framework we were able to understand vibrational spectra of MAgF3 M = K, Rb, Cs compounds. Comparative theoretical study uncovered lack of monotonicity in calculated optical…
We report a first-principles study on the geometric, electronic and magnetic properties of V-doped anatase TiO$_{2}$. The DFT+U (Hubbard coefficient) approach predicts semiconductor band structures for Ti$_{1-x}$V$_{x}$O$_{2}$ (x=6.25 and…
From first principles calculations we find that the nearest and next nearest neighbor superexchange interactions between Fe ions in LaOFeAs are large, antiferromagnetic (AF), and give rise to a frustrated magnetic ground state which…
The temperature evolution of the crystal and magnetic structures of ferroelectric sulfide AgCrS2 have been investigated by means of neutron scattering. AgCrS2 undergoes at TN = 41.6 K a first-order phase transition, from a paramagnetic…
The electronic structure and magnetic properties of LiFeAs and FeSe have been studied using hybrid exchange density functional theory. The total energies for a unit cell in LiFeAs and FeSe with different spin states including non-magnetic…
Understanding the polarization switching mechanisms at play in ferroelectric materials is crucial for their exploitation in electronic devices. The conventional centrosymmetric reference structure-based mechanism which accounts for…
The trigonal compound EuSn2As2 was recently discovered to host Dirac surface states within the bulk band gap and orders antiferromagnetically below the Neel temperature TN = 24 K. Here the magnetic ground state of single-crystal EuSn2As2…

We present a new approach to study the magnetic phase stability of magnetic overlayers on nonmagnetic substrates. The exchange integrals among magnetic atoms in the overlayer are estimated in the framework of the adiabatic approximation and…
We propose a way to use electric-field to control the magnetic ordering of the tetragonal BiFeO3. Based on systematic first-principles studies of the epitaxial strain effect on the ferroelectric and magnetic properties of the tetragonal…
In 2006, a novel cobalt-based superalloy was discovered [1] with mechanical properties better than some conventional nickel-based superalloys. As with conventional superalloys, its high performance arises from the precipitate-hardening…
EuCd$_2$As$_2$ is an antiferromagnetic semimetal, that can host non-trivial topological properties, depending upon its magnetic state and excitations. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of Eu(Cd$_{1-x}$Ag$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ and…
