In the past decade, resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) has made remarkable progress
as a spectroscopic technique. This is a direct result of the availability of high-brilliance …

Conventional band structure calculations in the local density approximation (LDA)[1–3] are
highly successful for many materials, but miss important aspects of the physics and …

We study the magnetic interactions in Mott-Hubbard systems with partially filled t 2 g levels
and with strong spin-orbit coupling. The latter entangles the spin and orbital spaces, and …

We demonstrate here that ultrathin ferromagnetic Pt/Co/Pt films with perpendicular magnetic
anisotropy exhibit a sizable Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) effect. Such a DMI effect …

The calculation of the electronic properties of materials is an important task of solid-state
theory, albeit particularly difficult if electronic correlations are strong, eg, in transition metals …

Using t 2 g Wannier functions, a low-energy Hamiltonian is derived for orthorhombic 3 d 1
transition-metal oxides. Electronic correlations are treated with a new implementation of …

Basic mechanisms controlling orbital order and orbital fluctuations in transition metal oxides
are discussed. The lattice driven classical orbital picture, eg like in manganites LaMnO 3, is …

The fact that magnetite (Fe304) was already known in the Greek era as a peculiar mineral is
indicative of the long history of transition metal oxides as useful materials. The discovery of …

We assess the performance of the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) screened hybrid density
functional scheme applied to the perovskite family La MO 3 (M= Sc–Cu) and discuss the role …

LaMnO 3 was studied by synchrotron x-ray diffraction, optical spectroscopies, and transport
measurements under pressures up to 40 GPa. The cooperative Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion is …
