We present results of an ab initio density-functional theory study of three bismuth-based multiferroics, BiFeO₃, Bi₂FeCrO₆, and BiCrO₃. We disuss differences in the crystal and electronic structure of the three systems and show that the application of the LDA+U method is essential to obtain realistic structural parameters for Bi₂FeCrO₆. We calculate the magnetic...

Rubidium superoxide, RbO₂, is a rare example of a solid with partially filled electronic p states, which allows us to study the interplay of spin and orbital order and other effects of strong electronic correlations in a material that is quite different from the conventional d or f electron systems. Here we show, using a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and dynamical mean-field...

We study the dynamics of photoinduced charge carriers in semirealistic models of LaVO3 and YTiO3 polar heterostructures. It is shown that two types of impact ionization processes contribute to the carrier multiplication in these strongly correlated multiorbital systems: The first mechanism involves local spin state transitions, while the second mechanism involves the scattering of...
