Assessing the suitability of the Thomas-Fermi-von Weizsäcker density functional for itinerant magnetism
Bishal Thapa, Phanish Suryanarayana, Igor I. Mazin
We assess the ability of the Thomas--Fermi--von Weizsacker (TFW) functional within orbital-free density functional theory (DFT) to describe itinerant magnetism. Magnetic stability…
Is altermagnetism in vanadium oxychalcogenides a lost cause?
Bishal Thapa, Po-Hao Chang, Kirill Belashchenko +1
Vanadium-based oxychalcogenide compounds with the inverse Lieb-lattice (ILL) structural pattern have recently been proposed as candidate altermagnets (AM). However, early studies p…
Mystery of the 175 cm Raman Mode in MnTe Altermagnet
Bishal Thapa, K. D. Belashchenko, Igor I. Mazin
MnTe has recently attracted exceptional attention due to its well-established altermagnetism, prompting a thorough reexamination of its properties. In particular, it was found that…
Altermagnetism in the layered intercalated transition metal dichalcogenide CoNbSe
Resham Babu Regmi, Hari Bhandari, Bishal Thapa +13
Altermagnets (AMs) are a new class of magnetic materials that combine the beneficial spintronics properties of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, garnering significant attention re…
