Merging Features from Green's Functions and Time Dependent Density Functional Theory: A Route to the Description of Correlated Materials out of Equil…
2016
We propose a description of nonequilibrium systems via a simple protocol that combines exchange-correlation potentials from density functional theory with self-energies of many-body perturbation theory. The approach, aimed to avoid double counting of interactions, is tested against exact results in Hubbard-type systems, with respect to interaction strength, perturbation speed and inhomogeneity, and system dimensionality and size. In many regimes, we find significant improvement over adiabatic time dependent density functional theory or second Born nonequilibrium Green's function approximations. We briefly discuss the reasons for the residual discrepancies, and directions for future work.
Two-Dimensional Crystals and van der Waals Heterostructures based on Inorganic and Molecular Strongly Correlated Layered Materials
2021
“En resumen, toda obra grande es el fruto de la paciencia y de la perseverancia, combinadas con una atención orientada tenazmente durante meses y aun años hacia un objeto particular”. “In summary, all great work is the fruit of patience and perseverance, combined with tenacious concentration on a subject over a period of months or years”. Santiago Ramón y Cajal (Reglas y consejos sobre investigación científica. Madrid: Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, 1897). The present Thesis constitutes a journey –a romance of many dimensions, quoting Edwin Abbot Abbot– from 3D to 2D and, hopefully (we let the curious Reader judge), “Through Flatland to Thoughtland” (citing, again, Abbot…
Brownian reservoir computing realized using geometrically confined skyrmion dynamics
2022
AbstractReservoir computing (RC) has been considered as one of the key computational principles beyond von-Neumann computing. Magnetic skyrmions, topological particle-like spin textures in magnetic films are particularly promising for implementing RC, since they respond strongly nonlinearly to external stimuli and feature inherent multiscale dynamics. However, despite several theoretical proposals that exist for skyrmion reservoir computing, experimental realizations have been elusive until now. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a conceptually new approach to skyrmion RC that leverages the thermally activated diffusive motion of skyrmions. By confining the electrically gated a…
Controlling magnetism with light in zero orbital angular momentum antiferromagnet
2023
Antiferromagnetic materials feature intrinsic ultrafast spin dynamics, making them ideal candidates for future magnonic devices operating at THz frequencies. A major focus of current research is the investigation of optical methods for the efficient generation of coherent magnons in antiferromagnetic insulators. In magnetic lattices endowed with orbital angular momentum, spin-orbit coupling enables spin dynamics through the resonant excitation of low-energy electric dipoles such as phonons and orbital resonances which interact with spins. However, in magnetic systems with zero orbital angular momentum, microscopic pathways for the resonant and low-energy optical excitation of coherent spin …
