Diverse interlayer tunability of physical properties two-dimensional layers mostly lies in the covalent-like quasi-bonding that is significant electronic structures but rather weak for energetics. Such characteristics result various stacking orders are energetically comparable may significantly differ terms structures, e.g. magnetism.

The theoretical understanding of the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects at LaAlO$_{3}$/SrTiO$_{3}$ interfaces and SrTiO$_{3}$ surfaces is still in its infancy. We perform first-principles density-functional-theory calculations derive from these a simple tight-binding Hamiltonian, through Wannier function projection group analysis. find striking differences to standard Rashba theory for semiconductor heterostructures due multi-orbital effects: by far biggest SOC effect crossing point $xy$ $yz$...
Following the discovery of superconductivity in cuprates and seminal work by Anderson, theoretical efforts to understand high-temperature have been focusing a large extent on simple model: one-band Hubbard model. However, superconducting need be doped, doped holes go into oxygen orbitals. This requires more elaborate multi-band model such as three-orbital Emery The recently discovered nickelate superconductors appear, at first glance, even complicated multi-orbital systems. Here, we analyse...
Manipulating physical properties using the spin degree of freedom constitutes a major part modern condensed matter physics and is very important for spintronics devices. Using newly discovered two dimensional van der Waals ferromagnetic CrI3 as prototypic material, we theoretically demonstrated giant magneto band-structure (GMB) effect whereby change magnetization direction significantly modifies electronic band structure. Our density functional theory calculations model analysis reveal that...
Superconducting nickelates appear to be difficult synthesize. Since the chemical reduction of ABO_{3} [rare earth (A), transition metal (B)] with CaH_{2} may result in both ABO_{2} and ABO_{2}H, we calculate topotactic H binding energy by density functional theory (DFT). We find intercalating energetically favorable for LaNiO_{2} but not Sr-doped NdNiO_{2}. This has dramatic consequences electronic structure as determined DFT+dynamical mean field theory: that 3d^{9} is similar (doped)...
Ferroelectric materials have switchable electrical polarization that is appealing for high-density nonvolatile memories. However, inevitable fatigue hinders practical applications of these materials. Fatigue-free ferroelectric switching could dramatically improve the endurance such devices. We report a fatigue-free system based on sliding ferroelectricity bilayer 3R molybdenum disulfide (3R-MoS 2 ). The memory performance this device does not show wake-up effect at low cycles or substantial...

The discovery of infinite layer nickelate superconductor marks the new era in field superconductivity. In rare-earth (Re) nickelates ReNiO2, although Ni is also d9 electronic configuration, analogous to Cu cuprates, whether structures infinite-layer are same as cuprate and possess single band feature well still open questions. To illustrate structure nickelate, we perform first principle calculations LaNiO2 NdNiO2 compounds compare them with that CaCuO2 using hybrid functional method...
Unlike time-reversal topological insulators, surface metallic states with Dirac cone dispersion in the recently discovered crystalline insulators (TCIs) are protected by crystal symmetry.

Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) at oxide heterostructures are attracting considerable attention, as these might one day substitute conventional semiconductors least for some functionalities. Here we present a minimal setup such 2DEG--the SrTiO3(110)-(4 × 1) surface, natively terminated with monolayer of tetrahedrally coordinated titania. Oxygen vacancies induced by synchrotron radiation migrate underneath this overlayer; leads to confining potential and doping that 2DEG develops. Our...
