متن کاملFerromagnetic insulating state in tensile-strained LaCoO3 thin films from LDA+U calculations
With local density approximation+Hubbard U (LDA+U ) calculations, we show that the ferromagnetic (FM) insulating state observed in tensile-strained LaCoO3 epitaxial thin films is most likely a mixture of low-spin (LS) and high-spin (HS) Co, namely, a HS/LS mixture state. Compared with other FM states, including the intermediate-spin (IS) state (metallic within LDA+U ), which consists of IS Co o...
متن کاملElectrical polarization and orbital magnetization: the modern theories.
Macroscopic polarization P and magnetization M are the most fundamental concepts in any phenomenological description of condensed media. They are intensive vector quantities that intuitively carry the meaning of dipole per unit volume. But for many years both P and the orbital term in M evaded even a precise microscopic definition, and severely challenged quantum-mechanical calculations. If one...
متن کاملOrbital magnetization in extended systems.
While the orbital magnetic dipole moment of any finite sample is well-defined, it becomes ill-defined in the thermodynamic limit as a result of the unboundedness of the position operator. Effects due to surface currents and to bulk magnetization are not easily disentangled. The corresponding electrical problem, where surface charges and bulk polarization appear as entangled, was solved about a ...
متن کاملOrbital magnetization in periodic insulators.
Working in the Wannier representation, we derive an expression for the orbital magnetization of a periodic insulator. The magnetization is shown to be comprised of two contributions, an obvious one associated with the internal circulation of bulklike Wannier functions in the interior, and an unexpected one arising from net currents carried by Wannier functions near the surface. Each contributio...
