Orbital Delocalization and Enhancement of Magnetic Interactions in Perovskite Oxyhydrides

Recent experiments showed that some perovskite oxyhydrides have surprisingly high magnetic-transition temperature. In order to unveil the origin of this interesting phenomenon, we investigate the magnetism in SrCrO2H and SrVO2H on the basis of first-principles calculations and Monte Carlo simulations. Our work indicates that the Cr-O-Cr superexchange interaction in SrCrO2H is unexpectedly stron...

Magnetic localization in mixed-valence manganites

The metal-insulator transition is mixed-valence manganites of the ~La0.7Ca0.3!MnO3 type is ascribed to a modification of the spin-dependent potential JHs–S associated with the onset of magnetic order at TC . Here JH is the on-site Hund’s-rule exchange coupling of an eg electron with s51/2 to the t2g ion core with S 53/2. Above TC, the eg electrons are localized by the random spin-dependent pote...

Magnetic Phases of Rare Earth Hexagonal Manganites

We describe the magnetic phases of hexagonal rare earth manganites RMnO3 using Landau theory. A minimal model based on four one-dimensional magnetic order parameters is developed.

Controlling self-assembled perovskite-spinel nanostructures.

We report a discovery that self-assembled perovskite-spinel nanostructures can be controlled simply by selecting single-crystal substrates with different orientations. In a model BiFeO(3)-CoFe(2)O(4) system, a (001) substrate results in rectangular-shaped CoFe(2)O(4) nanopillars in a BiFeO(3) matrix; in contrast, a (111) substrate leads to triangular-shaped BiFeO(3) nanopillars in a CoFe(2)O(4)...
