First principles studies of multiferroic materials

First principles studies of multiferroic materials.

Multiferroics, materials where spontaneous long-range magnetic and dipolar orders coexist, represent an attractive class of compounds, which combine rich and fascinating fundamental physics with a technologically appealing potential for applications in the general area of spintronics. Ab initio calculations have significantly contributed to recent progress in this area, by elucidating different...

Multiferroics, materials where spontaneous long-range magnetic and dipolar orders coexist, represent an attractive class of compounds, which combine rich and fascinating fundamental physics with a technologically appealing potential for applications in the general area of spintronics. Ab-initio calculations have significantly contributed to recent progress in this area, by elucidating different...

First - principles studies of CrN - based materials

First-principles modeling of multiferroic RMn2O5.

We investigate the phase diagrams of RMn(2)O(5) via a first-principles effective-Hamiltonian method. We are able to reproduce the most important features of the complicated magnetic and ferroelectric phase transitions. The calculated polarization as a function of temperature agrees very well with experiments. The dielectric-constant step at the commensurate-to-incommensurate magnetic phase tran...
