Machine learning Hubbard parameters with equivariant neural networks

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Martin Uhrin, Luca Binci, Austin Jacob Zadoks

Density-functional theory with extended Hubbard functionals (DFT + U + V) provides a robust framework to accurately describe complex materials containing transition-metal or rare-earth elements. It does so by mitigating self-interaction errors inherent to ...

Orbital-Resolved DFT plus U for Molecules and Solids

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Eric Macke

We present an orbital-resolved extension of the Hubbard U correction to density-functional theory (DFT). Compared to the conventional shell-averaged approach, the prediction of energetic, electronic and structural properties is strongly improved, particula ...

On-site and intersite Hubbard corrections in magnetic monolayers: The case of FePS3 and CrI3

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Edward Baxter Linscott

Hubbard-corrected density-functional theory has proven to be successful in addressing self-interaction errors in 3D magnetic materials. However, the effectiveness of this approach for 2D magnetic materials has not been extensively explored. Here, we use PB ...

Ternary Oxides of s - and p -Block Metals for Photocatalytic Solar-to-Hydrogen Conversion

Iurii Timrov

Oxides containing metals or metalloids from the p block of the periodic table (e.g., In, Sn, Sb, Pb, and Bi) are of technological interest as transparent conductors and light absorbers for solar-energy conversion due to the tunability of their electronic c ...

Magnetostriction-Driven Muon Localization in an Antiferromagnetic Oxide

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Lorenzo Monacelli

Magnetostriction results from the coupling between magnetic and elastic degrees of freedom. Though it is associated with a relatively small energy, we show that it plays an important role in determining the site of an implanted muon, so that the energetica ...

Magnon-phonon interactions enhance the gap at the Dirac point in the spin-wave spectra of CrI3 two-dimensional magnets

Iurii Timrov

Recent neutron-diffraction experiments in honeycomb CrI3 quasi-2D ferromagnets have evinced the existence of a gap at the Dirac point in their spin-wave spectra. The existence of this gap has been attributed to strong in-plane Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya or Kita ...

Understanding the role of Hubbard corrections in the rhombohedral phase of BaTiO3

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Michele Kotiuga, Lorenzo Bastonero

We present a first-principles study of the low-temperature rhombohedral phase of BaTiO3 using Hubbardcorrected density-functional theory. By employing density-functional perturbation theory, we compute the onsite Hubbard U for Ti(3d) states and the intersi ...

Unraveling the effects of inter-site Hubbard interactions in spinel Li-ion cathode materials

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Michele Kotiuga

Accurate first-principles predictions of the structural, electronic, magnetic, and electrochemical properties of cathode materials can be key in the design of novel efficient Li-ion batteries. Spinel-type cathode materials LixMn2O4 and LixMn1.5Ni0.5O4 are ...

First-principles study of the gap in the spin excitation spectrum of the CrI3 honeycomb ferromagnet

Iurii Timrov

The nature of the gap observed at the zone border in the spin excitation spectrum of CrI3 quasitwo-dimensional single crystals is still controversial. We perform first-principles calculations based on time-dependent density functional perturbation theory, ...

Hybridization driving distortions and multiferroicity in rare-earth nickelates

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Michele Kotiuga, Luca Binci

For decades transition-metal oxides have generated a huge interest due to the multitude of physical phenomena they exhibit. In this class of materials, the rare-earth nickelates, RNiO3, stand out for their rich phase diagram stemming from complex couplings ...
