Interplay Between The Lattice And Spin Degrees Of Freedom In Magnetoelectric And Magnetic Materials, Temuujin Bayaraa
Interplay Between The Lattice And Spin Degrees Of Freedom In Magnetoelectric And Magnetic Materials, Temuujin Bayaraa
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation contains several investigations on the cross-coupling between structural and spin degrees of freedom in multiferroic and ferrimagnetic compounds by means of first-principles calculations and ab-initio-based Monte-Carlo simulations. We start with the reviews of magnetoelectricity, ferrimagnetism, strain engineering, followed by a brief introduction to first-principles computational methods, magnetic effective Hamiltonians, and other techniques that are utilized here. The results section of the dissertation can be divided into two parts. The first half focuses on magnetoelectric effects arising from different sources, while the second half is about the ferrimagnetic nature of materials. In the first part, we examine the epitaxial …

Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Magnetoelectric multiferroics, that possess coupled magnetic and electric degrees of freedom, have been receiving ever renewed attention for more than 15 years since they hold promise for the design of novel devices exploiting their cross-coupling.
In this thesis, we present the results of first-principles studies on physical properties of multiferroic Sr0.5Ba0.5MnO3 films under epitaxial compressive and tensile strains, and chemical ordering. We start by reviewing multiferroic materials, a magnetoelectric coupling mechanism and then we give a brief introduction to the first-principles computational methods that are involved in this study.
Here, we report that Sr0.5Ba0.5MnO3 (SBM) films under compressive strain become …

Graduate Theses and Dissertations
In this dissertation, a first-principle-based approach is developed to study magnetoelectric effect in multiferoic materials. Such approach has a significant predictive power and might serve as a guide to new experimental works. As we will discuss in the course of this work, it also gives an important insight to the underlying physics behind the experimentally observed phenomena.
We start by applying our method to investigate properties of a generic multiferroic material. We observe how magnetic susceptibility of such materials evolves with temperature and compare this evolution with the characteristic behavior of magnetic susceptibility for pure magnetic systems. Then we focus …
