Magnetoelastic coupling and effects of uniaxial strain in $\alpha$-RuCl${}_3$ from first principles

David A. S. Kaib, Sananda Biswas, Kira Riedl +2

We present first-principles results on the magnetoelastic coupling in $\alpha$-RuCl${}_3$ and uncover a striking dependence of the magnetic coupling constants on strain effects. Different…
