Using first-principles calculations we study the ground state magnetic behaviour of Ba7Mn4O15 which has been classified as a type-II multiferroic in recent experiments. Our constrained moment calculations with the proposed experimental magnetic structure shows the spontaneous emergence of a polar mode giving rise to an electrical polarisation comparable to other known type-II multiferroics. When the constraints on the magnetic moments are removed, the spins self-consistently relax into a canted antiferromagnetic ground state configuration where two magnetic modes transforming as distinct irreducible representations coexist. While the dominant magnetic mode matches well with the previous experimental observations, the second mode is found to possess a different character resulting in a non-polar ground state. Interestingly, the non-polar magnetic ground state exhibits a significantly strong linear magnetoelectric (ME) coupling comparable to the well-known multiferroic BiFeO3, suggesting strategies to design new linear MEs.

Further, we provide ab initio derived tight-binding parameters for a two- and five-band model, and solve these in dynamical-mean-field theory. The interaction-to-bandwidth ratio makes LK-99 a Mott or charge transfer insulator. Electron or hole doping (which is different from substituting Pb by Cu and thus differs from LK-99) is required to make it metallic and potentially superconducting.

Exchange-correlation interactions were modeled using the GGA-PBEsol functional. The ground state of the title materials was characterized by calculating the optimized lattice parameter, the bulk modulus B and its pressure derivative, and the Goldsmith tolerance factor. These materials exhibit structural stability in the cubic structure even when subjected to significant pressure levels, extending up to 18 GPa. The analysis of numerical assessments of single-crystal elastic constants (C-ij), polycrystalline elastic moduli, namely shear modulus (G), Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio, as well as the anisotropy factor (A), highlights the mechanical stability, elastic anisotropy and ductility of considered the compounds. The thermodynamic properties of these materials were studied through the Debye quasi-harmonic model. Analysis of energy band structures and density of states spectra shows that XBeF3 (X = K, Rb) is insulating in nature, with band gaps of 7.99 and 7.26 eV, respectively. Additionally, we calculated the linear optical spectra, including dielectric function, absorption coefficient, refractive index, optical reflectivity, and energy loss function. Based on the results obtained, these materials could be used in various optoelectronic devices operating in the UV spectrum and in energy storage devices.

TI - Surface functionalization of graphene-like boron arsenide monolayer: a first-principles study JF - JOURNAL OF PHYSICS-CONDENSED MATTER J2 - J PHYS CONDENS MAT VL - 36 PY - 2024 IS - 5 PG - 8 SN - 0953-8984 DO - 10.1088/1361-648X/ad05fa UR - https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34306809 ID - 34306809 AB - In this work, the effects of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) adsorption on the electronic and magnetic properties of graphene-like boron arsenide (BAs) monolayer are investigated using first-principles calculations. Pristine monolayer is a non-magnetic two-dimensional (2D) material, exhibiting direct gap semiconductor character with band gap of 0.75 (1.18) eV as calculated by generalized gradient approximation with Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (HSE06) functional. Four high-symmetry adsorption sites are considered, including on-top of B atom ( TB ), on-top of As atom ( TAs ), on-top of hollow site ( TH ), and on-top of bridge site ( Tbridge ). Using the criterion of adsorption energy, it is found that TB and Tbridge sites are favorable adsorption sites for H and O adatom, respectively. The analysis of electronic interactions indicate the charge transfer from host BAs monolayer to both adatoms. H adsorption conducts to the emergence of magnetic semiconductor nature in BAs monolayer with a total magnetic moment of 1.00 mu B . Herein, the magnetism is originated mainly from H adatom and its neighbor As atoms. In contrast, the non-magnetic nature of BAs monolayer is preserved upon absorbing O atoms. In this case, the energy gap exhibits a slight reduction of 4%. Further, the effects of adatom coverage are also analyzed. The presented results suggest an effective modification of ground state electronic properties, as well as induction of new feature-rich properties to make new multifunctional 2D materials from non-magnetic BAs monolayer.
