Our article “Metamagnetic Behavior in a Quadruple Perovskite Oxide” is published in Inorganic Chemistry. This particle reports a new perovskite oxide CeMn3Cr4O12, synthesized by Okazaki-san and Yamada-sensei in OPU, for which we performed a DFT calculation to understand the electronic structure and its funny metamagnetic behavior.

19 April 2021 [Publication]
Our article “Hard x-ray photoemission study on strain effect in LaNiO3 thin films” is published in Applied Physics Letters. We study the strain effect on electronic structure of LaNiO3 by a computational simulation using density functional theory for the hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy data measured by Dr. Yamagami in OIST amd his colleagues.

7 April 2021 [Team]
Two undergraduate students, Yoshihiro Takahashi and Tatsuya Yamaguchi, joined our team.

3 April 2021 [Publication]
Our article “2p x-ray absorption spectroscopy of 3d transition metal systems” is published in Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena. This is a review article about theoretical approaches for 2p x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The LDA+DMFT-based method, which we have been developing in the past 5 years, is introduced in this article.

3-12 March 2021 [Team]
We attended JPS march meeting. K. Higashi and K. Kasebayashi in our team gave poster presentation (online).

31 August 2021 [Publication]
Our article “X-ray spectroscopy of the rare-earth nickelate LuNiO3: LDA+DMFT study” is published in Physical Review B. This project is conducted by Mathias Winder in this Ph.D course under the co-supervision by Prof. Jan Kunes in TU Wien and me. Congratulation to Mathias!

12 June 2021 [Publication]
Our article “A Sequential Electron Doping for Quadruple Perovskite Oxides ACu3Co4O12 (A = Ca, Y, Ce)” is published in Inorganic Chemistry. This study reports new quadrople perovskite oxides ACu3Co4O12 synthesized by Prof. Yamada in OPU. We proposed in this work a simple rule to understand the electron doping effect in this material class.

26 June 2021 [Publication]
Our article “Damping of spinful excitons in LaCoO3 by thermal fluctuations: Theory and experiment” is published in Physical Review B. This study report for the first time the temperature evolution of the excitonic dispersions in LaCoO3 by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) experiment at ESRF in Grenoble with great effort by experimentalists there and Dr. Ru-Pan Wang in the group of Frank de Groot in Utrecht. The spin fluctuation hidden behind the experimental data was unveiled by hard-core version of the bosonic dynamical mean-field theory simulation which is developed by me with Prof. Jan Kunes and Dr. Andrii Sotnikov in this study.
