Comparative study of DFT+U functionals for non-collinear magnetism
1Department of Physics, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon 34141, Republic of Korea.
Abstract:
We performed comparative analysis for DFT+U functionals to better understand their applicability to non-collinear magnetism. Taking LiNiPO4 and Sr2IrO4 as examples, we investigated the results out of two formalisms based on charge-only density and spin density functional plus U calculations. Our results show that the ground state spin order in terms of tilting angle is strongly dependent on Hund J. In particular, the opposite behavior of canting angles as a function of J is found for LiNiPO4. The dependence on the other physical parameters such as Hubbard U and Slater parameterization [Formula: see text] is investigated. We also discuss the formal aspects of these functional dependences as well as parameter dependences. The current study provides useful information and important intuition for the first-principles calculation of non-collinear magnetic materials.

Relation of DFT to z-Transform
To understand how the DFT works, it's helpful to consider the z-transform, which is a method for representing discrete sequences in the complex frequency domain. The z-transform involves summing the...
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
