On the magnetoelastic and magnetoelectric couplings across the antiferromagnetic transition in multiferroic BiFeO3

Mariusz Lejman, Charles Paillard, Vincent Juvé +7

Clear anomalies in the lattice thermal expansion (deviation from linear variation) and elastic properties (softening of the sound velocity) at the antiferromagnetic-to-paramagnetic…

Interplay between Kitaev interaction and single ion anisotropy in ferromagnetic CrI and CrGeTe monolayers

Changsong Xu, Junsheng Feng, Hongjun Xiang +1

Magnetic anisotropy is crucially important for the stabilization of two-dimensional (2D) magnetism, which is rare in nature but highly desirable in spintronics and for advancing fu…

Atomic Scale Measurement of Polar Entropy

Debangshu Mukherjee, Sergei Prokhorenko, Leixin Miao +4

Entropy is a fundamental thermodynamic quantity that is a measure of the accessible microstates available to a system, with the stability of a system determined by the magnitude of…

Intrinsic Origin of Enhancement of Ferroelectricity in SnTe Ultrathin Films

Kai Liu, Jinlian Lu, Silvia Picozzi +2

Previous studies showed that, as ferroelectric films become thinner, their Curie temperature (Tc) and polarization below Tc both typically decrease. In contrast, a recent experimen…

Meta-screening and permanence of polar distortion in metallized ferroelectrics

Hong Jian Zhao, Alessio Filippetti, Carlos Escorihuela-Sayalero +5

Ferroelectric materials are characterized by a spontaneous polar distortion. The behavior of such distortions in the presence of free charge is the key to the physics of metallized…

Energetics of oxygen-octahedra rotations in perovskite oxides from first principles

Peng Chen, Mathieu N. Grisolia, Hong Jian Zhao +5

We use first-principles methods to study oxygen-octahedra rotations in ABO3 perovskite oxides. We focus on the short-period, perfectly antiphase or in-phase, tilt patterns that cha…
