We have investigated from first-principles an electronic structure and magnetism in MnB4 compound with experimentally observed orthorhombic C12/m1 structure. It is found that Mn tetra-borides (MnB4) is found to have metallic ground state with well defined local Mn magnetic moments. This conclusion was drawn from calculation within full potential Linear Augmented Plane Wave method and Korringa-Kohn-Rostocker method using Disordered Local Moment Approximation. We have shown using Lichtenstein Green function method that magnetic exchange interactions between Mn moments are strongly ferromagnetic along 1D-chains of Mn atoms and they are practically vanishing between the chains. The metallic state appears to exhibit a strongly one-dimensional character since the single metallic band show dispersion only in one reciprocal lattice dimension. Thus it appears that MnB4 may be a perfect one-dimensional one-band Hubbard model system. Although LSDA predicts the magnetism in this system it may well be superconductor at low temperatures due to the correlation effects beyond mean field like approach.

Ferroelectric topological objects (e.g. vortices, skyrmions) provide a fertile ground for exploring emerging physical properties that could potentially be utilized in future configurable nanoelectronic devices. Here, we demonstrate quasi-one-dimensio nal metallic high conduction channels along two types of exotic topological defects, i.e. the topological cores of (i) a quadrant vortex domain structure and (ii) a center domain (monopole-like) structure confined in high quality BiFeO3 nanoisland array, abbreviated as the vortex core and the center core. We unveil via phase-field simulations that the superfine (< 3 nm) metallic conduction channels along center cores arise from the screening charge carriers confined at the core whereas the high conductance of vortex cores results from a field-induced twisted state. These conducting channels can be repeatedly and reversibly created and deleted by manipulating the two topological states via an electric field, leading to an apparent electroresistance effect with an on/off ratio higher than 103. These results open up the possibility of utilizing these functional one-dimensional topological objects in high-density nanoelectronic devices such as ultrahigh density nonvolatile memory.
Using density functional theory we have performed theoretical investigations of the electronic properties of a free-standing one-dimensional organometallic vanadium-benzene wire. This system represents the limiting case of multi-decker V_n(C6H6)_{n+1 } clusters which can be synthesized. We predict that the ground state of the wire is a 100% spin-polarized ferromagnet (half-metal). Its density of states is metallic at the Fermi energy for the minority electrons and shows a semiconductor gap for the majority electrons. We found that the half-metallic behavior is conserved up to 12%, longitudinal elongation of the wire. However, under further stretching, the system exhibits a transition to a high-spin ferromagnetic state that is accompanied by an abrupt jump of the magnetic moment and a gain of exchange energy.
The experimental realization of time dependent ultracold lattice systems has paved the way towards the implementation of new Hubbard-like Hamiltonians. We show that in a one dimensional two components lattice dipolar Fermi gas the competition between long range repulsion and correlated hopping induced by periodically modulated on-site interaction allows for the formation of exotic hidden magnetic phases. The magnetism, characterized solely by string-like nonlocal order parameters, manifests itself both in the charge and, noticeably, in the spin degrees of freedom. Such behavior is enlighten by employing both Luttinger theory and numerical methods. Crucially the range of parameters for which hidden magnetism is present can be reached by means of the currently available experimental setups and probes.
We study zigzag interfaces between insulating compounds that are isostructural to graphene, specifically II-VI, III-V and IV-IV two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb insulators. We show that these one-dimensional interfaces are polar, with a net density of excess charge that can be simply determined by using the ideal (integer) formal valence charges, regardless of the predominant covalent character of the bonding in these materials. We justify this finding on fundamental physical grounds, by analyzing the topology of the formal polarization lattice in the parent bulk materials. First principles calculations elucidate an electronic compensation mechanism not dissimilar to oxide interfaces, which is triggered by a Zener-like charge transfer between interfaces of opposite polarity. In particular, we predict the emergence of one dimensional electron and hole gases (1DEG), which in some cases are ferromagnetic half-metallic.
We report synthesis and magnetic properties of quasi-one-dimensional spin-$frac{1}{2}$ Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain compound BaNa$_2$Cu(VO$_4$)$_2$. This orthovanadate has a centrosymmetric crystal structure, $C2/c$, where the magnetic Cu$^{2+} $ ions form spin chains. These chains are arranged in layers, with the chain direction changing by 62$^0$ between the two successive layers. Alternatively, the spin lattice can be viewed as anisotropic triangular layers upon taking the inter-chain interactions into consideration. Despite this potential structural complexity, temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, ESR intensity, and NMR shift agree well with the uniform spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg chain model with an intrachain coupling of $J/k_{rm B} simeq 5.6$ K. The saturation field obtained from the magnetic isotherm measurement consistently reproduces the value of $J/k_{rm B}$. Further, the $^{51}$V NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate mimics the 1D character in the intermediate temperature range, whereas magnetic long-range order sets in below $T_{rm N} simeq 0.25$ K. The effective interchain coupling is estimated to be $J_{perp}/k_{rm B} simeq 0.1$ K. The theoretical estimation of exchange couplings using band-structure calculations reciprocate our experimental findings and unambiguously establish the 1D character of the compound. Finally, the spin lattice of BaNa$_2$Cu(VO$_4$)$_2$ is compared with the chemically similar but not isostructural compound BaAg$_2$Cu(VO$_4)_2$.
