Applying DFT (HSE + spin orbit coupling) computed properties to five perovskites in the PbX3CH3NH3(X = I, Br, Cl) family of photovoltaic materials reveals that they can exhibit several interfacial charge transfer mechanisms.

In Si–La0.7Sr0.3MnO3, the interfacial charge transfer driven strong localized antiferromagnetic and spin–orbit couplings favor positive magnetoresistance, which is suppressed by strong magnetic scattering induced by the top ZnO layer results in negative magnetoresistance.

We investigate SrIrO3/LaNiO3 superlattices in which we observe a full electron transfer at the interface from Ir to Ni, triggering a massive structural and electronic reconstruction. Through experimental characterization and first-principles calculations, we determine that a large crystal field splitting from the distorted interfacial IrO6 octahedra surprisingly dominates over the spin–orbit coupling and together with the Hund’s coupling results in the high-spin (S = 1) configurations on both the Ir and Ni sites. This demonstrates the power of interfacial charge transfer in coupling lattice, charge, orbital, and spin degrees of freedom, opening fresh avenues of investigation of quantum states in oxide superlattices.

Efficient triplet-to-singlet conversion in conventional donor-acceptor TADF compounds relies on charge-transfer (CT) and locally-excited (LE) triplet state mixing as this provides required spin-orbit coupling. In this work, asymmetric carbazole-donor motif...

AbstractThe electronic properties of bulk fcc americium and the (111) surface have been investigated with the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method as implemented in the WIEN2K suite of programs The study is carried out for the anti-ferromagnetic ground state of Am at different levels of theory: (1) scalar-relativity vs. full-relativity; (2) local-density approximation (LDA) vs. generalized-gradient approximation (GGA). Our results indicate that spin orbit coupling plays an important role in determining the electronic properties of both bulk fcc americium and the (111) surface. In general, LDA is found to give a higher total energy compared to GGA results. The spin orbit coupling shows a similar effect on the surface calculations regardless of the model, GGA versus LDA. The 5f localized-delocalized transition of americium is employed to explain our results. In addition, the quantum size effects in the surface energies and the work functions of fcc (111) americium ultra thin films (UTF) are also examined.
