Solid solution BiFe1-xCoxO3 shows anti-ferromagnetic order and pyroelectric order, simultaneously. It has been known that BiFe1-xCoxO3 exhibits a structural phase transition between monoclinic and tetragonal phases as x increases. This kinds of transition is often called morphotoropic phase boundary, which is well known to take place in a representative piezoelectric oxide, PbZr1-xTixO3. In order to theoretically understand the piezoelectric property in BiFe1-xCoxO3, we performed ab-initio electronic-structure calculations and studied the structural stability, the magnetic property, and the electronic polarization by means of super-cell approach. It turns out that the large electric polarization and the particular pyramidal coordination suppress the response of the electric polarization under strain. A way to enhance the piezoelectric effect in BiFe1-xCoxO3 is proposed.

Motivated by the recent realization of graphene sensors to detect individual gas molecules, we investigate the adsorption of H2O, NH3, CO, NO2, and NO on a graphene substrate using first-principles calculations. The optimal adsorption position and or
ientation of these molecules on the graphene surface is determined and the adsorption energies are calculated. Molecular doping, i.e. charge transfer between the molecules and the graphene surface, is discussed in light of the density of states and the molecular orbitals of the adsorbates. The efficiency of doping of the different molecules is determined and the influence of their magnetic moment is discussed.
Experimental realization of single-layer MoSi2N4 is among the latest groundbreaking advances in the field of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Inspired by this accomplishment, herein we conduct first-principles calculations to explore the stability of
MC2N4 (M= Cr, Mo, W, V, Nb, Ta, Ti, Zr, Hf) monolayers. Acquired results confirm the desirable thermal, dynamical and mechanical stability of MC2N4 (M= Cr, Mo, W, V) nanosheets. Interestingly, CrC2N4, MoC2N4 and WC2N4 monolayers are found to be semiconductors with band gaps of 2.32, 2.76 and 2.86 eV, respectively, using the HSE06 functional, whereas VC2N4 lattice shows a metallic nature. The direct gap semiconducting nature of CrC2N4 monolayer results in excellent absorption of visible light. The elastic modulus and tensile strength of CrC2N4 nanosheet are predicted to be remarkably high, 676 and 54.8 GPa, respectively. On the basis of iterative solutions of the Boltzmann transport equation, the room temperature lattice thermal conductivity of CrC2N4 monolayer is predicted to be 350 W/mK, among the highest in 2D semiconductors. CrC2N4 and WC2N4 lattices are also found to exhibit outstandingly high piezoelectric coefficients. This study introduces CrC2N4 nanosheet as a novel 2D semiconductor with outstandingly high mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, carrier mobility and piezoelectric coefficient.
We report tight-binding (TB) and Density Function Theory (DFT) calculations of magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE) of free Fe (body centerd cubic) and Co (face centered cubic) slabs and nanocrystals. The nanocrystals are truncated square pyram
ids which can be obtained experimentally by deposition of metal on a SrTiO$_3$(001) substrate. For both elements our local analysis shows that the total MAE of the nanocrystals is largely dominated by the contribution of (001) facets. However, while the easy axis of Fe(001) is out-of-plane, it is in-plane for Co(001). This has direct consequences on the magnetic reversal mechanism of the nanocrystals. Indeed, the very high uniaxial anisotropy of Fe nanocrystals makes them a much better potential candidate for magnetic storage devices.
Previous studies have accurately determined the effect of transition metal point defects on the properties of bcc iron. The magnetic properties of transition metal monolayers on the iron surfaces have been studied equally intensively. In this work, w
e investigated the magnetic properties of the 3d, 4d, and 5d transition-metal (TM) atomic monolayers in Fe/TM/Fe sandwiches using the full-potential local-orbital (FPLO) scheme of density functional theory. We prepared models of Fe/TM/Fe structures using the supercell method. We selected the total thickness of our system so that the Fe atomic layers furthest from the TM layer exhibit bulk iron-bcc properties. Along the direction perpendicular to the TM layer, we observe oscillations of spin and charge density. For Pt and W we obtained the largest values of perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy and for Lu and Ir the largest values of in-plane magnetocrystalline anisotropy. All TM layers, except Co and Ni, reduce the total spin magnetic moment in the generated models, which is in good agreement with the Slater-Pauling curve. Density of states calculations showed that for Ag, Pd, Ir, and Au monolayers, a distinct van Hove singularity associated with TM/Fe interface can be observed at the Fermi level.
A minority-spin resonant state at the Fe/GaAs(001) interface is predicted to reverse the spin polarization with voltage bias of electrons transmitted across this interface. Using a Greens function approach within the local spin density approximation
we calculate spin-dependent current in a Fe/GaAs/Cu tunnel junction as a function of applied bias voltage. We find a change in sign of the spin polarization of tunneling electrons with bias voltage due to the interface minority-spin resonance. This result explains recent experimental data on spin injection in Fe/GaAs contacts and on tunneling magnetoresistance in Fe/GaAs/Fe magnetic tunnel junctions.
