<p>Electronic and magnetic properties of La<sub>4</sub>Ba<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>10</sub> had been studied by first-principles density functional theory (DFT). Based on the DFT calculation La<sub>4</sub>Ba<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>10</sub> is found to have a ferromagnetic (FM) ground state. The material undergo charge-transfer type insulator to Mott-Hubbard type insulator transition which happens due to strong correlation in La-4f and Cu-3d states. Our results show that the 3d electrons of Cu hybridize strongly with O-2p states near the Fermi level giving rise to the insulating state of La<sub>4</sub>Ba<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>10</sub>. Our study suggests that the enhanced magnetic moment is a result of itinerant exchange rather than the exchange interaction involving individual ions of Cu atoms. The total magnetic moment calculated in the present studies is 2 μ<sub>B</sub> per unit cell for La<sub>4</sub>Ba<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>10</sub>.</p><p>Journal of Nepal Physical Society Vol.3(1) 2015: 89-96</p>

Using the first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT), we investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of (100) surface of inverse Heusler alloy Mn2CoSb with five different terminations. Our work reveals that the surface Mn atom moves to vacuum while surface Co atom moves to slab. Moreover, duo to the reason that the surface atom lost half of the nearest atoms with respect to the bulk phase, resulting in the decrease of hybridization, the atom-resolved spin magnetic moments of surface atoms are enhanced. Further investigation on DOS and PDOS showed that half-metallicity was preserved only in SbSb-termination while was destroyed in MnCo-, MnSb-, MnMn-, and CoCo-termination due to the appearance of surface states.

AbstractThis contribution reports static ionic displacements in ferromagnetic disordered Fe70Pd30 alloys obtained by relaxation of the ionic positions of a 108-atom supercell within the framework of density functional theory. Comparison with a simple statistical model based on Lennard-Jones pair interactions reveals that these displacements are significantly larger than can be explained by the different sizes of the elemental constituents. The discrepancies are presumably related to collective displacements of the Fe atoms. Corresponding distortions are experimentally observed for ordered Fe3Pt and predicted by first-principles calculations for all ordered Fe-rich L12 alloys with Ni group elements and originate from details of the electronic structure at the Fermi level.

First-principles study based on density functional theory has been employed to investigate width-dependent structural stability and magnetic properties of monolayer zigzag MoS2 nanoribbons (ZZ-MoS2 NRs). The width N = 4–6 (the numbers of zigzag Mo–S chains along the ribbon length) are considered. The results show that all studied ZZ-MoS2 NRs are less stable than two-dimensional MoS2 monolayer, exhibiting that a broader width ribbon behaves better structural stability and an inversely proportional relationship between the structural stability (or the ribbon with) and boundary S–Mo interaction. Electronic states imply that all ZZ-MoS2 NRs exhibit magnetic properties, regardless of their widths. Total magnetic moment increases with the increasing width N, which is mainly ascribed to the decreasing S–Mo interaction of the two zigzag edges. In order to confirm this reason, a uniaxial tension strain is applied to ZZ-MoS2 NRs. It has been found that, with the increasing tension strain, the bond length of boundary S–Mo increases, at the same time, the magnetic moment increases also. Our results suggest the rational applications of ZZ-MoS2 NRs in nanoelectronics and spintronics.
