Theory of electric polarization induced by inhomogeneity in crystals
Di Xiao, Junren Shi, Dennis P. Clougherty +1
We develop a general theory of electric polarization induced by inhomogeneity in crystals. We show that contributions to polarization can be classified in powers of the gradient of…
Orbital magnetization and its effect in antiferromagnets on the distorted fcc lattice
Zhigang Wang, Ping Zhang, Junren Shi
We study the intrinsic orbital magnetization (OM) in antiferromagnets on the distorted face-centered-cubic lattice. The combined lattice distortion and spin frustration induce nont…
Quantum Theory of Orbital Magnetization and its Generalization to Interacting Systems
Junren Shi, G. Vignale, Di Xiao +1
Based on standard perturbation theory, we present a full quantum derivation of the formula for the orbital magnetization in periodic systems. The derivation is generally valid for…
First-principles calculations of Cu(001) thin films: quantum size effect in surface energetics and surface chemical reactivities
Bo Sun, Ping Zhang, Suqing Duan +3
First-principles calculations of Cu(001) free-standing thin films have been performed to investigate the oscillatory quantum size effects exhibited in surface energy, work function…
Theory of conserved spin current and its application to two dimensional hole gas
Ping Zhang, Zhigang Wang, Junren Shi +2
We present a detailed microscopic theory of the conserved spin current which is introduced by us [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{96}, 196602 (2006)] and satisfies the spin continuity equ…
