Frustrated magnets are one class of fascinating materials that host many intriguing phases such as spin ice, spin liquid and complex long-range magnetic orderings at low temperatures. In this work we use first-principles calculations to find that in a wide range of magnetically frustrated oxides, at zero temperature a number of non-collinear magnetic orderings are more stable than the type-I collinear ordering that is observed at finite temperatures. The emergence of non-collinear orderings in those complex oxides is due to higher-order exchange interactions that originate from second-row and third-row transition metal elements. This implies a collinear-to-noncollinear spin transition at sufficiently low temperatures in those frustrated complex oxides. Furthermore, we find that in a particular oxide Ba$_2$YOsO$_6$, experimentally feasible uniaxial strain can tune the material between two different non-collinear magnetic orderings. Our work predicts new non-collinear magnetic orderings in frustrated complex oxides at very low temperatures and provides a mechanical route to tuning complex non-collinear magnetic orderings in those materials.

We elucidate the thermodynamics of sodium (Na) intercalation into the sodium super-ionic conductor (NaSICON)-type electrode, Na$_x$V$_2$(PO$_4$)$_3$, for promising Na-ion batteries with high-power density. This is the first report of a computational temperature-composition phase diagram of the NaSICON-type electrode Na$_x$V$_2$(PO$_4$)$_3$. We identify two thermodynamically stable phases at the compositions Na$_2$V$_2$(PO$_4$)$_3$ and Na$_{3.5}$V$_2$(PO$_4$)$_3$, and their structural features are described for the first time based on our computational analysis. We unveil the crystal-structure and the electronic-structure origins of the ground-state compositions associated with specific Na/vacancy arrangements, which are driven by charge orderings on the vanadium sites. These results are significant for the optimization of high-energy and power densities electrodes for sustainable Na-ion batteries
The layered {beta}-NaMnO2, a promising Na-ion energy-storage material has been investigated for its triangular lattice capability to promote complex magnetic configurations that may release symmetry restrictions for the coexistence of ferroelectric a nd magnetic orders. The complexity of the neutron powder diffraction patterns underlines that the routinely adopted commensurate structural models are inadequate. Instead, a single-phase superspace symmetry description is necessary, demonstrating that the material crystallizes in a compositionally modulated q= (0.077(1), 0, 0) structure. Here, Mn3+ Jahn-Teller distorted MnO6 octahedra form corrugated layer stacking sequences of the {beta}-NaMnO2 type, which are interrupted by flat sheets of the {alpha}-like oxygen topology. Spontaneous long-range collinear antiferromagnetic order, defined by the propagation vector k= (1/2, 1/2, 1/2), appears below TN1= 200 K. Moreover, a second transition into a spatially modulated proper-screw magnetic state (k+-q) is established at TN2= 95 K, with an antiferromagnetic order parameter resembling that of a two-dimensional (2D) system. The evolution of 23Na NMR spin-lattice relaxation identifies a magnetically inhomogene-ous state in the intermediate T-region (TN2 <T< TN1), while its strong suppression below TN2 indicates that a spin-gap opens in the excitation spectrum. High-resolution neutron inelastic scattering confirms that the magnetic dynamics are indeed gapped ({Delta}~5 meV) in the low-temperature magnetic phase, while simulations on the basis of the single-mode approximation suggest that Mn-spins residing on ad-jacent antiferromagnetic chains, establish sizable 2D correlations. Our analysis points that novel struc-tural degrees of freedom promote, cooperative magnetism and emerging dielectric properties in this non-perovskite-type of manganite.
The discovery of intrinsic magnetic topological order in $rm MnBi_2Te_4$ has invigorated the search for materials with coexisting magnetic and topological phases. These multi-order quantum materials are expected to exhibit new topological phases that can be tuned with magnetic fields, but the search for such materials is stymied by difficulties in predicting magnetic structure and stability. Here, we compute over 27,000 unique magnetic orderings for over 3,000 transition metal oxides in the Materials Project database to determine their magnetic ground states and estimate their effective exchange parameters and critical temperatures. We perform a high-throughput band topology analysis of centrosymmetric magnetic materials, calculate topological invariants, and identify 18 new candidate ferromagnetic topological semimetals, axion insulators, and antiferromagnetic topological insulators. To accelerate future efforts, machine learning classifiers are trained to predict both magnetic ground states and magnetic topological order without requiring first-principles calculations.

The orthoperovskites TbCoO$_3$ and DyCoO$_3$ with Co$^{3+}$ in a non-magnetic low-spin state have been investigated by neutron diffraction down to 0.25 K. Magnetic ordering is evidenced below $T_N=3.3$ K and 3.6 K, respectively, and the ordered arran gements are of canted type, A$_x$G$_y$ for TbCoO$_3$ and G$_x$A$_y$ for DyCoO$_3$ in Bertauts notation. The experiments are confronted with the first-principle calculations of the crystal field and magnetism of Tb$^{3+}$ and Dy$^{3+}$ ions, located in the $Pbnm$ structure on sites of $C_s$ point symmetry. Both these ions exhibit an Ising behavior, which originates in the lowest energy levels, in particular in accidental doublet of non-Kramers Tb$^{3+}$ ($4f^8$ configuration) and in ground Kramers doublet of Dy$^{3+}$ ($4f^9$) and it is the actual reason for the non-collinear AFM structures. Very good agreement between the experiment and theory is found. For comparison, calculations of the crystal field and magnetism for other systems with Kramers ions, NdCoO$_3$ and SmCoO$_3$, are also included.
Van der Waals (VdW) materials have opened new directions in the study of low dimensional magnetism. A largely unexplored arena is the intrinsic tuning of VdW magnets toward new ground-states. The chromium trihalides provided the first such example wi th a change of inter-layer magnetic coupling emerging upon exfoliation. Here, we take a different approach to engineer new ground-states, not by exfoliation, but by tuning the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of the non-magnetic ligand atoms (Cl,Br,I). We synthesize a three-halide series, CrCl$_{3-x-y}$Br$_{x}$I$_{y}$, and map their magnetic properties as a function of Cl, Br, and I content. The resulting triangular phase diagrams unveil a frustrated regime near CrCl$_{3}$. First-principles calculations confirm that the frustration is driven by a competition between the chromium and halide SOCs. Furthermore, we reveal a field-induced change of inter-layer coupling in the bulk of CrCl$_{3-x-y}$Br$_{x}$I$_{y}$ crystals at the same field as in the exfoliation experiments.
