We investigate the electronic and structural properties of CuO, which shows significant deviations from the trends obeyed by other transition-metal monoxides. Using an extended Hubbard corrective functional, we uncover an orbitally ordered…

Transition-metal ions with $5d^2$ electronic configuration in a cubic crystal field are prone to have a vanishing dipolar magnetic moment but finite higher-order multipolar moments, and they are expected to exhibit exotic physical…

We investigate the interplay of the electronic and structural transition in La$_{0.2}$Sr$_{0.8}$MnO$_{3}$. The transport and specific heat measurements exhibit unusual evolutions and signature of a first order phase transition around 265 K.…

The pyrochlore oxides $A_2B_2$O$_7$ exhibit a complex interplay between geometrical frustration, electronic correlations, and spin-orbit coupling, due to the lattice structure and active charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom.…

We have investigated electronic structures of antiferromagnetic YBaCo_2O_5 using the local spin-density approximation (LSDA) + U method. The charge and orbital ordered insulating ground state is correctly obtained with the strong on-site…

Ab initio calculations using the APW+lo method as implemented in the WIEN2k code have been used to describe the electronic structure of the quasi-one-dimensional system BaCoO3. Both, GGA and LDA+U approximations were employed to study…

We have performed calculations of the electronic structure of LaCoO3 from first principles, assuming the atomistic construction of matter and the electrostatic origin of the crystal-field splitting. In our atomic-like approach QUASST the d…

The electronic structure of the perovskite LaCoO$_3$ for different spin states of Co ions was calculated in the LDA+U approach. The ground state was found to be a nonmagnetic insulator with Co ions in a low-spin state. Somewhat higher in…

In RBaCo_{2}O_{5+x} compounds (R is rare earth), a ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic competition is accompanied by a giant magnetoresistance. We study the magnetization of detwinned GdBaCo_{2}O_{5.5} single crystals, and find a remarkable…

The common phase diagrams of superconducting iron pnictides show interesting material specificities in the structural and magnetic phase transitions. In some cases the two transitions are separate and second order, while in others they…

Ultra-high resolution synchrotron diffraction data for $\rm GdBaCo_2O_{5.5}$ throw new light on the metal-insulator transition of Co$^{3+}$ Ba-cobaltites. An anomalous expansion of CoO$_6$ octahedra is observed at the phase transition on…

We investigated the electronic response of the quasi-two-dimensional spin gap compound La4Ru2O10 using optical spectroscopy. We observed drastic changes in the optical spectra as the temperature decreased, resulting in anisotropy in the…

Entanglement of spin and orbital degrees of freedom drives the formation of novel quantum and topological physical states. Discovering new spin-orbit entangled ground states and emergent phases of matter requires both experimentally probing…

We perform first-principles calculation to study the electronic structure of HgBa$_{2}$Ca$_{n-1}$Cu$_{n}$O$_{2n+2+x}$ copper oxides up to $n = 6$ for the undoped parent compound $(x = 0)$ and up to $n = 3$ for the doped compound $(x > 0)$…
