The large number of low-lying states of d- and f-shells supports a variety of order parameters. The effective dimensionality of the local Hilbert space depends on the strength, and kind, of intersite interactions. This gives rise to…
By equilibrating condensed DNA arrays against reservoirs of known osmotic stress and examining them with several structural probes, it has been possible to achieve a detailed thermodynamic and structural characterization of the change…
The insulating ferrimagnet Cu2OSeO3 shows a rich variety of phases such as skyrmion lattice and helical magnetism controlled by interplay of different exchange interactions which can be tuned by external pressure. In this work we have…
We study crystal melting in two-dimensional antiferromagnets, by analyzing the statistical mechanics of the six-state clock model on a lattice in which defects (dislocations and disclinations) are allowed to appear. We show that the…
We perform molecular dynamics simulations on an interacting electron gas confined to a cylindrical surface and subject to a radial magnetic field and the field of the positive background. In order to study the system at lowest energy states…
Based on a first-principles approach, we show that in a single crystal of a prototypical topological insulator such as Bi$_2$Se$_3$ the difference in the work function between adjacent surfaces with different crystal-face orientations…
A class of Fe-Mn-Si-based alloys exhibits a reversible martensitic transformation between the $\gamma$ phase with a face-centered cubic~(fcc) structure and an $\epsilon$ phase with a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure. During the…
In ABO3 perovskites, oxygen octahedron rotations are common structural distortions that can promote large ferroelectricity in BiFeO3 with an R3c structure [1], but suppress ferroelectricity in CaTiO3 with a Pbnm symmetry [2]. For many…
Deterministic control of the layering configuration of two-dimensional quantum materials plays a central role in studying their emergent electronic properties. Here we demonstrate in-situ control over competing stacking configurations in…
Spin correlations in metallic and insulating phases of $V_2O_3$ and its derivatives are investigated using magnetic neutron scattering. Metallic samples have incommensurate spin correlations varying little with hole doping. Paramagnetic…
We report a single crystal neutron and x-ray diffraction study of the hybrid improper multiferroic Ca3Mn1.9Ti0.1O7 (CMTO), a prototypical system where the electric polarization arises from the condensation of two lattice distortion…
The transport and structural properties of Fe1+yTe1-xSx (x=0, 0.05, and 0.10) crystals were studied in pulsed magnetic fields up to 65 T. The application of high magnetic fields results in positive magnetoresistance effect with prominent…
At low densities, electrons confined to two dimensions in a delta-doped heterostructure can arrange themselves into self-consistent droplets due to disorder and screening effects. We use this observation to show that at low temperatures,…
A simple exactly solvable model of canted magnetic structure appearance in the system of crystallographic and chemically equivalent atoms is proposed. The corresponding mechanism originates from the competition of intra- and interatomic…
Based on ab initio calculations we determine the features and relative stability of different models proposed to describe the $(2 \times 2)$-FeO(111) reconstruction. Our results suggest that both wurtzite and spinel-like environments are…
We reinterpret neutron scattering and Raman spectroscopy experiments in La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4), showing modulation of spin and lattice degrees of freedom both in the low-temperature orthorhombic and tetragonal phases, in terms of a…
The crystal structure determines both the Fermi surface and pairing symmetry of the superconducting metals. It is demonstrated in the framework of the general phenomenological approach that this is of the primary importance for the…
The exchange interactions and magnetic structure in layered system CuMnO2 (mineral crednerite) and in nonstoichiometric system Cu1.04Mn0.96O2, with triangular layers distorted due to orbital ordering of the Mn3+ ions, are studied by…
The results of a comprehensive and systematic ab-initio based ground-state search for the structural arrangement of oxygen vacancies in rutile phase TiO$_2$ provide new insights into their memristive properties. We find that O vacancies…
Aperiodicity and un-conventional rotational symmetries allow quasicrystalline structures to exhibit unprecedented physical and functional properties. In magnetism, artificial ferromagnetic quasicrystals exhibited knee anomalies suggesting…
