Ferroically Ordered Magnetic Octupoles in -Wave Altermagnets

S Bhowal, NA Spaldin - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
We show that time-reversal symmetry-broken, centrosymmetric antiferromagnets with
nonrelativistic spin splitting of d-wave symmetry—the so-called d-wave altermagnets—are …

Surface magnetization in antiferromagnets: Classification, example materials, and relation to magnetoelectric responses

SF Weber, A Urru, S Bhowal, C Ederer, NA Spaldin - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
We use symmetry analysis and density-functional theory to determine and characterize
surface terminations that have a finite equilibrium magnetization density in antiferromagnetic …

Exploring energy landscapes of charge multipoles using constrained density functional theory

L Schaufelberger, ME Merkel, AM Tehrani… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS
We present a method to constrain local charge multipoles within density-functional theory.
Such multipoles quantify the anisotropy of the local charge distribution around atomic sites …

Kramers' degenerate magnetism and superconductivity

A Amin, H Wu, T Shishidou, DF Agterberg - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Motivated by the recent discovery of odd-parity multipolar antiferromagnetic order in CeRh 2
As 2, we examine the coexistence of such translation invariant Kramers' degenerate …

Circular dichroism in resonant inelastic x-ray scattering from birefringence in CuO

A Nag, GS Perren, H Ueda, AT Boothroyd… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2025 - arxiv.org
Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) has become a prominent technique to study
quasiparticle excitations. With advances in polarization analysis capabilities at different …

Interplay of electronic order and structural distortions in correlated materials

ME Merkel - 2024 - research-collection.ethz.ch
In this thesis, I study correlated materials, specifically transition-metal oxides with a
perovskite or double-perovskite structure. In the considered materials–CaFeO₃ …

Novel Physics in Unconventional Superconductors

A Amin - 2024 - search.proquest.com
In this work, we consider the interplay of different magnetic orders and superconductivity. We
consider both phenomenological and microscopic models to capture these interactions. The …
