| 9 | Prediction of Van Hove singularity systems in ternary borides显示文摘A computational search for stable structures among bothαandβphases of ternary ATB4 borides(A=Mg,Ca,Sr,Ba,Al,Ga,and Zn,T is 3d or 4d transition elements)has been performed.We found thatα-ATB4 compounds with A=Mg,Ca,Al,and T=V,Cr,Mn,Fe,Ni,and Co form a family of structurally stable or almost stable materials.These systems are metallic in non-magnetic states and characterized by the formation of the localized molecular-like state of 3d transition metal atom dimers,which leads to the appearance of numerous Van Hove singularities in the electronic spectrum.The closeness of such singularities to the Fermi level can be easily tuned by electron doping.For the atoms in the middle of the 3d row(Cr,Mn,and Fe),these singularities led to magnetic instabilities and magnetic ground states with a weakly metallic or semiconducting nature.Such states appear as non-trivial coexistence of the different spin ladders formed by magnetic dimers of 3d elements.These magnetic states can be characterized as an analog of the spin glass state.Experimental attempts to produce MgFeB4 and associated challenges are discussed,and promising directions for further synthetic studies are formulated. | Yang Sun Zhen Zhang Andrew P.Porter Kirill Kovnir Kai-Ming Ho Vladimir Antropov | 2023 | npj Computational Materials2023，，1： | 0 |
