A review of the basic ideas and techniques of the spectral density-functional theory is
presented. This method is currently used for electronic structure calculations of strongly …

The properties of transition metal compounds are largely determined by nontrivial interplay
of different degrees of freedom: charge, spin, lattice, and also orbital ones. Especially rich …

Intrinsically ferromagnetic 2D semiconductors are essential and highly sought for nanoscale
spintronics, but they can only be obtained from ferromagnetic bulk crystals, while the …

Quantum spin liquids are an exciting playground for exotic physical phenomena and
emergent many-body quantum states. The realization and discovery of quantum spin liquid …

The present review discusses different effects related to orbital degrees of freedom. Leaving
aside such aspects as the superexchange mechanism of cooperative Jahn–Teller …

Uncovering the physics behind the electrical manipulation of low-dimensional magnetic
materials remains a fundamental issue in practical application of nanoscale spintronics …

We report the finding of time-reversal-symmetry-breaking dx 2− y 2+ id xy superconducting
ground state in the slave-boson mean-field theory for the t− J model on triangular lattice. For …

Traditional trial-and-error methods are obstacles for large-scale searching of new
optoelectronic materials. Here, we introduce a method combining high-throughput ab initio …

Temperature-dependent x-ray diffraction of the low-dimensional spin-1∕ 2 quantum magnet
TiOCl shows that the phase transition at T c 2= 90 K corresponds to a lowering of the lattice …

High-order topological insulators (HOTIs) have garnered significant interest in recent years
due to their unique properties, but their material realization has thus far been limited to those …
