Understanding the magnetic interactions is of fundamental importance in condensed-matter
physics as well as in the application of spintronic devices. In the past 13 years, the …

The discovery of an ever-increasing family of atomic layered magnetic materials, together
with the already established vast catalogue of strong spin–orbit coupling and topological …

The WIEN2k program is based on the augmented plane wave plus local orbitals (APW+ lo)
method to solve the Kohn–Sham equations of density functional theory. The APW+ lo …

Magnetic topological insulators are narrow-gap semiconductor materials that combine non-
trivial band topology and magnetic order. Unlike their nonmagnetic counterparts, magnetic …

Among the diverse and ever-expanding array of approaches to the electronic structure
problem, the rise of approximate density functional theory (DFT) as the method of choice for …

Chiral magnets are an emerging class of topological matter harboring localized and
topologically protected vortex-like magnetic textures called skyrmions, which are currently …

Real-time electronic structure methods provide an unprecedented view of electron dynamics
and ultrafast spectroscopy on the atto-and femtosecond time scale with vast potential to yield …

Skyrmions in magnetic materials offer attractive perspectives for future spintronic
applications since they are topologically stabilized spin structures on the nanometre scale …

Magnetic skyrmions─ localized chiral spin structures─ show great promise for spintronic
applications. The recent discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnets opened new …

More than five years have passed since the first edition of this book was published. Surface
science is still a very active field of research, and the fact that the Nobel Prize 2007 in …
