Topological semimetals in ferromagnetic materials have attracted enormous attention due to the potential applications in spintronics. Using the first-principles density functional theory together with an effective lattice model, here we…

Half-metallic ferromagnets (HMF) are on one of the most promising materials in the field of spintronics due to their unique band structure consisting of one spin sub-band having metallic characteristics along with another sub-band with…

Half-metallic ferromagnetic (HMF) materials show high spin polarization and are therefore interesting to researchers due to their possible applications in spintronic devices. In these materials, while one spin sub band has a finite density…

We obtain the phase-diagram of the half-filled honeycomb Hubbard model with density matrix embedding theory, to address recent controversy at intermediate couplings. We use clusters from 2-12 sites and lattices at the thermodynamic limit.…

Half-metals are a class of materials that are metallic only for one spin direction, and are essential for spintronics applications where one needs to read, write, store and transfer spin-data. This spin sensitivity appears to restrict them…

We demonstrate a topotactic transformation of zincblende InAs(Sb) nanowires into the Zintl phase Eu$_5$In$_2$As$_6$ through a vapor-solid mutual exchange process involving Eu and In in molecular beam epitaxy. This conversion preserves the…

In the triplet equal-spin-pairing states of both 3He-A phase and Sr2RuO4 superconductor, existence of Half-Quantum Vortices HQVs are possible. The vortices carry half-integer multiples of magnetic quantum flux (hc/2e). To obtain equilibrium…

Alloying effects by T=Mn,Co,Ni-substitution on FeS$_2$ have been investigated using density-functional calculations. The ferromagnetic alloys Fe$_{1-x}$T$_x$S$_2$ have been investigated for concentrations…

Using the density functional theory, we perform a full atomic relaxation of the bulk ferrite with 12.5%-concentration of monoatomic interstitial Cr periodically located at the edges of the bcc Fe$_\alpha$ cell. We show that structural…

The metastable nature of the ferroelectric phase of HfO$_2$ is a significant impediment to its industrial application as a functional ferroelectric material. In fact, no polar phases exist in the bulk phase diagram of HfO$_2$, which shows a…

Lattice stability in a model of antiferromagnetic ring coupled to adiabatic phonons is investigated for different values of the spin and numbers of magnetic sites. The magneto-elastic transition is shown to be heavily affected by the spin…

We consider the stability conditions for half-quantum vortices in quasi two dimensional $p_x+ip_y$ superconductor (such as ${\rm Sr_2 RuO_4}$ is believed to be) through energetics calculations. Although the predicted exotic nature of these…

In this paper, we'll hunt for ordered crystal structures that may be stable, and that would explain the brittleness of electrical steel. I.e we wish to find crystals with negative formation energy, if it turns out that these structures are…

We present a spin density functional theory (DFT) study for semiconducting ScN and Mn-substituted ScN. Their structural and magnetic properties have been investigated using the all electrons augmented spherical wave method (ASW) with a…

It is shown that in perfectly quasi-isodynamic stellarators, trapped particles with a bounce frequency much higher than the frequency of the instability are stabilizing in the electrostatic and collisionless limit. The collisionless…

Lattice parameter, bulk modulus, formation energy and magnetism equilibrium structure in all-d transition metals $Ni_2XMn$ (X=Co,Cr,Fe) for Full and Inverse Heusler structure are studied by first-principles calculations. Tetragonal…

A theory for longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) electron spin coherence times in zincblende semiconductor quantum wells is developed based on a non-perturbative nanostructure model solved in a fourteen-band restricted basis set.…

It has been known that even though two elemental metals, $X$ and $Y$, are immiscible, they can form alloys on surfaces of other metal $Z$. In order to understand such surface alloying of immiscible metals, we study the energetic stability…

Half-metals have been envisioned as active components in spintronic devices by virtue of their completely spin-polarized electrical currents. Actual materials hosting half-metallic phases, however, remain scarce. Here, we predict that…

Phase selecting nearly degenerate crystalline polymorphs during epitaxial growth can be challenging yet is critical to targeting physical properties for specific applications. Here, we establish how phase selectivity of altermagnetic and…
