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 explicit 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.

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.
We explore magnetic behavior of kagome francisites Cu3Bi(SeO3)2O2X (X = Cl and Br) using first-principles calculations. To this end, we propose an approach based on the Hubbard model in the Wannier functions basis constructed on the level of local-de
nsity approximation (LDA). The ground-state spin configuration is determined by a Hartree-Fock solution of the Hubbard model both in zero magnetic field and in applied magnetic fields. Additionally, parameters of an effective spin Hamiltonian are obtained by taking into account the hybridization effects and spin-orbit coupling. We show that only the former approach, the Hartree-Fock solution of the Hubbard model, allows for a complete description of the anisotropic magnetization process. While our calculations confirm that the canted zero-field ground state arises from a competition between ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor couplings in the kagome planes, weaker anisotropic terms are crucial for fixing spin directions and for the overall magnetization process. We thus show that the Hartree-Fock solution of an electronic Hamiltonian is a viable alternative to the analysis of effective spin Hamiltonians when a magnetic ground state and effects of external field are considered.
The correlated band theory implemented as a combination of the local density approximation with the exact diagonalization of the Anderson impurity model is applied to PuO$_2$. We obtain an insulating electronic structure consistent with the experimen
tal photoemission spectra. The calculations yield the band gap of 1.8 eV and a non-magnetic singlet ground state that is characterized by a non-integer filling of the plutonium $f$ shell ($n_fapprox 4.5$). Due to sizeable hybridization of the $f$ shell with the $p$ states of oxygen, the ground state is more complex than the four-electron Russell--Saunders ${}^5{rm I}_4$ manifold split by the crystal field. The inclusion of hybridization improves the agreement between the theory and experiment for the magnetic susceptibility.
We argue that the centrosymmetric $C2/c$ symmetry in BiMnO$_3$ is spontaneously broken by antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions existing in the system. The true symmetry is expected to be $Cc$, which is compatible with the noncollinear magnetic ground
state, where the ferromagnetic order along one crystallographic axis coexists with the the hidden AFM order and related to it ferroelectric polarization along two other axes. The $C2/c$ symmetry can be restored by the magnetic field $B sim 35$ Tesla, which switches off the ferroelectric polarization. Our analysis is based on the solution of the low-energy model constructed for the 3d-bands of BiMnO$_3$, where all the parameters have been derived from the first-principles calculations. Test calculations for isostructural BiCrO$_3$ reveal an excellent agreement with experimental data.
Polarized and unpolarized neutron diffraction studies have been carried out on single crystals of the coupled spin tetrahedra systems Cu2Te2O5X2 (X=Cl, Br). A model of the magnetic structure associated with the propagation vectors kCl ~ -0.150,0.422,
1/2 and kBr ~ -0.172,0.356,1/2 and stable below TN=18 K for X=Cl and TN=11 K for X=Br is proposed. A feature of the model, common to both the bromide and chloride, is a canted coplanar motif for the 4 Cu2+ spins on each tetrahedron which rotates on a helix from cell to cell following the propagation vector. The Cu2+magnetic moment determined for X=Br, 0.395(5)muB, is significantly less than for X=Cl, 0.88(1)muB at 2K. The magnetic structure of the chloride associated with the wave-vector k differs from that determined previously for the wave vector k~0.150,0.422,1/2 [O. Zaharko et.al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 217206 (2004)].
