Orbital mixing and strong Hund's coupling stabilize spin order in van der Waals ferromagnet CrI3
Alessandro De Vita, Srdjan StavriÄ, Roberto Sant +8
Recent years have seen a vast increase in research into van der Waals magnetic materials. In many of these systems, magnetism is introduced via light 3d-transition metal elements,…
Charge and spin photogalvanic effects in the p-wave magnet NiI2
Giuseppe Cuono, Srdjan Stavric, Javier Sivianes Castano +4
NiI2 is an exotic van der Waals material in which a noncollinear spin spiral breaks spatial inversion symmetry without sizeable structural distortion, generating improper ferroelec…
Interplay between Relativistic Spin-Momentum Locking and Breaking of Inversion Symmetry: conditions for p-wave magnetism
Amar Fakhredine, Giuseppe Cuono, Jan Skolimowski +2
We investigate the interplay between relativistic spin-momentum locking arising from altermagnetism and various forms of inversion symmetry breaking. Depending on the symmetry brea…
Hole doping as an efficient route to increase the Curie temperature in monolayer CrI
Marko OrozoviÄ, Božidar N. Å oÅ¡kiÄ, Silvia Picozzi +2
Two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) magnets offer unprecedented opportunities to control magnetism at the atomic scale. Through charge carrier doping - realized by electrostatic ga…
Designing Non-Relativistic Spin Splitting in Oxide Perovskites
Subhadeep Bandyopadhyay, Silvia Picozzi, Sayantika Bhowal
We investigate the role of atomic distortions in non-relativistic spin splitting in perovskite oxides with Pbnm symmetry. Using LaMnO3 as a representative material, we analyze its…
Magnetoelectricity of Topological Solitons in 2D Magnets
Alexander Edström, Paolo Barone, Silvia Picozzi +1
We develop a multiscale approach to magnetoelectric effects, bridging atomistic and continuum models, with all parameters determined from ab initio electronic structure calculation…
