Bulk Rashba systems BiTeX (X = I, Br, Cl) are emerging as important candidates for developing spintronics devices, because of the coexistence of spin-split bulk and surface states, along with the ambipolar character of the surface charge carriers. The need of studying the spin texture of strongly spin-orbit coupled materials has recently promoted circular dichroic Angular Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy (cd-ARPES) as an indirect tool to measure the spin and the angular degrees of freedom. Here we report a detailed photon energy dependent study of the cd-ARPES spectra in BiTeX (X = I, Br and Cl). Our work reveals a large variation of the magnitude and sign of the dichroism. Interestingly, we find that the dichroic signal modulates differently for the three compounds and for the different spin-split states. These findings show a momentum and photon energy dependence for the cd-ARPES signals in the bulk Rashba semiconductor BiTeX (X = I, Br, Cl). Finally, the outcome of our experiment indicates the important relation between the modulation of the dichroism and the phase differences between the wave-functions involved in the photoemission process. This phase difference can be due to initial or final state effects. In the former case the phase difference results in possible interference effects among the photo-electrons emitted from different atomic layers and characterized by entangled spin-orbital polarized bands. In the latter case the phase difference results from the relative phases of the expansion of the final state in different outgoing partial waves.

It has been predicted theoretically and indirectly confirmed experimentally that single-layer CrX$_3$ (X=Cl, Br, I) might be the prototypes of topological magnetic insulators (TMI). In this work, by using first-principles calculations combined with a
tomistic spin dynamics we provide a complete picture of the magnetic interactions and magnetic excitations in CrX$_3$. The focus is here on the two most important aspects for the actual realization of TMI, namely the relativistic magnetic interactions and the finite-size (edge) effects. We compute the full interaction tensor, which includes both Kitaev and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya terms, which are considered as the most likely mechanisms for stabilizing topological magnons. First, we instigate the properties of bulk CrI$_3$ and compare the simulated magnon spectrum with the experimental data [Phys. Rev. X 8, 041028 (2018)]. Our results suggest that a large size of topological gap, seen in experiment ($approx$ 4 meV), can not be explained by considering pair-wise spin interactions only. We identify several possible reasons for this disagreement and suggest that a pronounced magneto-elastic coupling should be expected in this class of materials. The magnetic interactions in the monolayers of CrX$_3$ are also investigated. The strength of the anisotropic interactions is shown to scale with the position of halide atom in the Periodic Table, the heavier the element the larger is the anisotropy. Comparing the magnons for the bulk and single-layer CrI$_3$, we find that the size of the topological gap becomes smaller in the latter case. Finally, we investigate finite-size effects in monolayers and demonstrate that the anisotropic couplings between Cr atoms close to the edges are much stronger than those in ideal periodic structure. This should have impact on the dynamics of the magnon edge modes in this class of materials.
To understand the magnetic property of layered van der Waals materials CrOX (X = Cl, Br), we performed the detailed first-principles calculations for both bulk and monolayer. We found that the charge-only density functional theory combined with the e
xplicit on-site interaction terms (so-called cDFT$+U$) well reproduces the experimental magnetic ground state of bulk CrOX, which is not the case for the use of spin-dependent density functional (so-called sDFT$+U$). Unlike some of the previous studies, our results show that CrOX monolayers are antiferromagnetic as in the bulk. It is also consistent with our magnetic force linear response calculation of exchange couplings $J_{rm ex}$. The result of orbital-decomposed $J_{rm ex}$ calculations shows that the Cr $t_textrm{2g}$-$t_textrm{2g}$ component mainly contributes to the antiferromagnetic order in both bulk and monolayer. Our result and analysis show that taking the correct Hunds physics into account is of key importance to construct the magnetic phase diagram and to describe the electronic structure.
We demonstrate sensitivity of the Mn 3d valence states to strain in the ferromagnetic semiconductors (Ga,Mn)As and (Al,Ga,Mn)As, using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). The spectral shape of the Mn $L_{2,3}$ XMCD is dependent on the orientati
on of the magnetization, and features with cubic and uniaxial dependence are distinguished. Reversing the strain reverses the sign of the uniaxial anisotropy of the Mn $L_3$ pre-peak which is ascribed to transitions from the Mn 2p core level to p-d hybridized valence band hole states. With increasing carrier localization, the $L_3$ pre-peak intensity increases, indicating an increasing 3d character of the hybridized holes.
Efforts toward stabilization of the Si$_{20}$ fullerene through different schemes have failed despite several theoretical predictions. However, recently Tillmann {it et. al.} succeeded to stabilize the Si$_{20}$ fullerene through exohedral decoration
with eight Cl substituents and twelve SiCl$_3$ groups on the surface and enclosing Cl$^-$ ion. A deeper understanding on what factors lead to stabilization will open the path for stabilizing other systems of interest. Here, we employ the minima hopping method within density functional theory to understand the potential energy surface. The study shows that the exo-endo halide decoration of the cage alters the glassy nature of the potential energy surface of pure cage to structure seeker. Further analysis of different properties of the global minima, reveal that the extra electron instead of residing on the central encapsulated atom in the cage, it is distributed on the cage and increases the encapsulation energy; thereby stabilizing the system. We also provide estimates of the stability for different kind of exo-endo halide decorations and their feasible realization in experiments.
Theoretical and experimental studies present that metal halogens in MX$_3$ forms can show very interesting electronic and magnetic properties in their bulk and monolayer phases. Many MX$_3$ materials have layered structures in their bulk phases, whil
e RuBr$_3$ and RuI$_3$ have one-dimensional chains in plane. In this paper, we show that these metal halogens can also form two-dimensional layered structures in the bulk phase similar to other metal halogens, and cleavage energy values confirm that the monolayers of RuX$_3$ can be possible to be synthesised. We also find that monolayers of RuX$_3$ prefer ferromagnetic spin orientation in the plane for Ru atoms. Their ferromagnetic ground state, however, changes to antiferromagnetic zigzag state after U is included. Calculations using PBE+U with SOC predict indirect band gap of 0.70 eV and 0.32 eV for the optimized structure of RuBr$_3$ and RuI$_3$, respectively. Calculation based on the Monte Carlo simulations reveal interesting magnetic properties of RuBr$_3$, such as large Curie temperature against RuI$_3$, both in bulk and monolayer cases. Moreover, as a result of varying exchange couplings between neighboring magnetic moments, magnetic properties of RuBr$_3$ and RuI$_3$ can undergo drastic changes from bulk to monolayer. We hope our findings can be useful to attempt to fabricate the bulk and monolayer of RuBr$_3$ and RuI$_3$.
