Magnetism and Spin-orbit Physics

The group is developing methods to treat and understand ground state magnetic order as well as magnetic excitations from first principles. In particular:

• Magnetism in 2D materials and magnetic anisotropy
• Spin spiral order
• Multiferroic properties and magnetoelectric coupling
• First principles Heisenberg models from the magnetic force theorem
• Magnons and spectral functions from time-dependent density functional theory

The group members continuously contribute to the development of the electronic structure code GPAW, which is the main work horse for our calculations.
