We present first-principles calculations of the coupling of quasiparticles to spin fluctuations in iron selenide and discuss which types of superconducting instabilities this coupling gives rise to. We find that strong antiferromagnetic stripe-phase spin fluctuations lead to large coupling constants for superconducting gaps with $s_pm$-symmetry, but these coupling constants are significantly reduced by other spin fluctuations with small wave vectors. An accurate description of this competition and an inclusion of band structure and Stoner parameter renormalization effects lead to a value of the coupling constant for an $s_pm$-symmetric gap which can produce a superconducting transition temperature consistent with experimental measurements.

We provide a systematic analysis of finite-temperature magnetic properties of random alloys Fe$_x$Ni$_{1-x}$ with the face-centered cubic structure over a broad concentration range $x$. By means of spin-polarized relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker m
ethod we calculate the electronic structure of disordered iron-nickel alloys and discuss how a composition change affects magnetic moments of Fe and Ni and the density of states. We investigate how the Curie temperature depends on Fe concentration using conventional approaches, such as mean-field approximation or Monte Carlo simulations, and dynamic spin-fluctuation theory that has not been used in this context so far. Being devised to account spin fluctuations explicitly, the latter method shows the best fit to experimental results.
We perform systematic first-principles calculations to investigate the spin-phonon coupling (SPC) of Cr2Ge2Te6 (CGT) monolayer (ML). It is found that the Eg phonon mode at 211.8 cm^{-1} may have a SPC as large as 3.19 cm^{-1}, as it directly alters t
he superexchange interaction along the Cr-Te-Cr pathway. Furthermore, the strength of SPC of the CGT ML can be further enhanced by an in-plane compressive strain. These results provide useful insights for the understanding of SPC in novel two-dimensional magnetic semiconductors and may guide the design of spintronic and spin Seebeck materials and devices.
Paramagnetic molecules can show long spin-coherence times, which make them good candidates as quantum bits. Reducing the efficiency of the spin-phonon interaction is the primary challenge towards achieving long coherence times over a wide temperature
range in soft molecular lattices. The lack of a microscopic understanding about the role of vibrations in spin relaxation strongly undermines the possibility to chemically design better performing molecular qubits. Here we report a first-principles characterization of the main mechanism contributing to the spin-phonon coupling for a class of vanadium(IV) molecular qubits. Post Hartree Fock and Density Functional Theory are used to determine the effect of both reticular and intra-molecular vibrations on the modulation of the Zeeman energy for four molecules showing different coordination geometries and ligands. This comparative study provides the first insight into the role played by coordination geometry and ligand field strength in determining the spin-lattice relaxation time of molecular qubits, opening the avenue to a rational design of new compounds.
Rutile TiO2 is a paradigmatic transition metal oxide with applications in optics, electronics, photocatalysis, etc., that are subject to pervasive electron-phonon interaction. To understand how energies of its electronic bands, and in general semicon
ductors or metals where the frontier orbitals have a strong d-band character, depend on temperature, we perform a comprehensive theoretical and experimental study of the effects of electron-phonon (e-p) interactions. In a two-photon photoemission (2PP) spectroscopy study we observe an unusual temperature dependence of electronic band energies within the conduction band of reduced rutile TiO2, which is contrary to the well understood sp-band semiconductors and points to a so far unexplained dichotomy in how the e-p interactions affect differently the materials where the frontier orbitals are derived from the sp- and d-orbitals. To develop a broadly applicable model, we employ state-of-the-art first-principles calculations that explain how phonons promote interactions between the Ti-3d orbitals of the conduction band within the octahedral crystal field. The characteristics differences in e-p interactions experienced by the Ti 3d-orbitals of rutile TiO2 crystal lattice are contrasted with the more familiar behavior of the Si 2s-orbitals of stishovite SiO2 polymorph, in which the frontier 2s-orbital experience a similar crystal field with the opposite effect...
Recently large Rashba-like spin splitting has been observed in certain bulk ferroelectrics. In contrast with the relativistic Rashba effect, the chiral spin texture and large spin-splitting of the electronic bands depend strongly on the character of
the band and atomic spin-orbit coupling. We establish that this can be traced back to the so-called orbital Rashba effect, also in the bulk. This leads to an additional dependence on the orbital composition of the bands, which is crucial for a complete picture of the effect. Results from first-principles calculations on ferroelectic GeTe verify the key predictions of the model.
