The rise and fall of Mott insulating gaps in YNiO paramagnets as a reflection of symmetry breaking and remaking

Oleksandr I. Malyi, Alex Zunger

The YNiO nickelate is a paradigm d-electron oxide that manifests the intriguing temperature-mediated sequence of three phases transitions from (i) magnetically ordered insulato…

Uncovering hidden spin polarization of energy bands in antiferromagnets

Lin-Ding Yuan, Xiuwen Zhang, Carlos Mera +1

Many textbook physical effects in crystals are enabled by some specific symmetries. In contrast to such "apparent effects", "hidden effect X" refers to the general condition where…

Degeneracy removal of spin bands in antiferromagnets with non-interconvertible spin motif pair

Lin-Ding Yuan, Alex Zunger

Energy bands in antiferromagnets are generally spin degenerate in the absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Recent studies [Physical Review B 102, 014422 (2020)] identified formal…

Insulating band gaps both below and above the Néel temperature in d-electron LaTiO3, LaVO3, SrMnO3, and LaMnO3 perovskites as a symmetry-breaking event

Oleksandr I. Malyi, Xin-Gang Zhao, Alex Zunger

Compounds having an odd number of electrons with the same orbital character in occupied and unoccupied band edge states would be expected to have band degeneracy at the Fermi energ…

Density Functional description of spin, lattice, and spin-lattice dynamics in antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases at finite temperatures

Davide Gambino, Oleksandr I. Malyi, Zhi Wang +2

Describing the (a) electronic and magnetic properties (EMP) of antiferromagnetic or paramagnetic phases of compounds generally requires the knowledge of (b) the spin configurations…

Intrinsic doping limitations in inorganic lead halide perovskites

Fernando P. Sabino, Alex Zunger, Gustavo M. Dalpian

Inorganic Halide perovskites (HP's) of the CsPbX3 (X=I, Br, Cl) type have reached prominence in photovoltaic solar cell efficiencies. Peculiarly, they have shown, however, an asymm…
