The Global Network of Optical Magnetometers to search for Exotic physics (GNOME) is a network of geographically separated, time-synchronized, optically pumped atomic magnetometers that is being used to search for correlated transient signals heralding exotic physics. The GNOME is sensitive to nuclear- and electron-spin couplings to exotic fields from astrophysical sources such as compact...

Lattice-mediated magnetic order melting in ${\mathrm{TbMnO}}_{3}$

Baldini, Edoardo ; Kubacka, Teresa ; Mallett, Benjamin P. P. ; Ma, Chao ; Koohpayeh, Seyed M. ; Zhu, Yimei ; Bernhard, Christian ; Johnson, Steven L. ; Carbone, Fabrizio

In: Physical Review B, 2018, vol. 97, no. 12, p. 125149

Recent ultrafast magnetic-sensitive measurements [Johnson et al., Phys. Rev. B 92, 184429 (2015); Bothschafter et al., Phys. Rev. B 96, 184414 (2017)] have revealed a delayed melting of the long-range cycloid spin order in TbMnO3 following photoexcitation across the fundamental Mott-Hubbard gap. The microscopic mechanism behind this slow transfer of energy from the photoexcited carriers to...

Nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory and its applications

Aoki, Hideo ; Tsuji, Naoto ; Eckstein, Martin ; Kollar, Marcus ; Oka, Takashi ; Werner, Philipp

In: Reviews of Modern Physics, 2014, vol. 86, no. 2, p. 779–837

The study of nonequilibrium phenomena in correlated lattice systems has developed into one of the most active and exciting branches of condensed matter physics. This research field provides rich new insights that could not be obtained from the study of equilibrium situations, and the theoretical understanding of the physics often requires the development of new concepts and methods. On the...

Detailed ab initio first-Principles study of the magnetic anisotropy in a family of trigonal pyramidal iron(II) pyrrolide complexes

Atanasov, Mihail ; Ganyushin, Dmitry ; Pantazis, Dimitrios A. ; Sivalingam, Kantharuban ; Neese, Frank

In: Inorganic Chemistry, 2011, vol. 50, no. 16, p. 7460–7477

A theoretical, computational, and conceptual framework for the interpretation and prediction of the magnetic anisotropy of transition metal complexes with orbitally degenerate or orbitally nearly degenerate ground states is explored. The treatment is based on complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) wave functions in conjunction with N-electron valence perturbation theory...

PRATIQUE: a research project to enhance pest risk analysis techniques in the European Union

Baker, R. H. A. ; Battisti, A. ; Bremmer, J. ; Kenis, M. ; Mumford, J. ; Petter, F. ; Schrader, G. ; Bacher, Sven ; Barro, P. De ; Hulme, P. E. ; Karadjova, O. ; Lansink, A. O. ; Pruvost, O. ; Pyšek, P. ; Roques, A. ; Baranchikov, Y. ; Sun, J.-H.

In: EPPO Bulletin, 2009, vol. 39, no. 1, p. 87 - 93

PRATIQUE is an EC-funded 7th Framework research project designed to address the major challenges for pest risk analysis (PRA) in Europe. It has three principal objectives: (a) to assemble the datasets required to construct PRAs valid for the whole of the EU, (b) to conduct multi-disciplinary research that enhances the techniques used in PRA and (c) to provide a decision support scheme for PRA...

Combined ligand field and density functional theory analysis of the magnetic anisotropy in oligonuclear complexes based on FeIII−CN−MII exchange-coupled pairs

Atanasov, Mihail ; Comba, Peter ; Daul, Claude A.

In: Inorganic Chemistry, 2008, vol. 47, no. 7, p. 2449–2463

Magnetic anisotropy in cyanide-bridged single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with FeIII−CN−MII (M = Cu, Ni) exchange-coupled pairs was analyzed using a density functional theory (DFT)-based ligand field model. A pronounced magnetic anisotropy due to exchange was found for linear FeIII−CN−MII units with fourfold symmetry. This results from spin–orbit...

DFT studies on the magnetic exchange across the cyanide bridge

Atanasov, Mihail ; Comba, Peter ; Daul, Claude A.

In: The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2006, vol. 110, no. 49, p. 13332 -13340

Exchange coupling across the cyanide bridge in a series of novel cyanometalate complexes with CuII-NC-MIII (M = Cr and low-spin Mn,Fe) fragments has been studied using the broken-symmetry DFT approach and an empirical model, which allows us to relate the exchange coupling constant with σ-, π-, and π*-type spin densities of the CN⁻ bridging ligand. Ferromagnetic...

Modeling properties of molecules with open d-shells using density functional theory

Atanasov, Mihail ; Daul, Claude A.

In: Comptes Rendus Chimie, 2005, vol. 8(9-10), p. 1421-1433

An overview of the theory and applications of a recently proposed ligand-field density functional theory (LFDFT) is given. We describe a procedure based on DFT allowing to deduce the parameters of this non-empirical LF approach consisting of the following steps: (i) an average of configuration (AOC) DFT calculation, with equal occupancies of the d-orbitals is carried out (ii) with...
