First-principles calculations on BiFeO3 under low-pressure region show that the rhombohedral-monoclinic and rhombohedral-orthorhombic phase transitions can be found around the critical pressure value, ~9 GPa.We suggest that the structure involve the combination of these three phases and change to the pure orthorhombic phase gradually as pressure is beyond the critical value. Moreover, it is a first-order structural phase transition, accompanied with antiferromagnetic–ferromagnetic transition.

The giant negative thermal expansion in the Ge-doped antiperovskite Mn3CuN compound is theoretically studied by using the first principles calculations. We propose that such a negative thermal expansion property is essentially attributed to the magnetic phase transition, rather than to the lattice vibration of the Ge-doped compound. Furthermore, we found that the doped Ge atoms in the compound significantly enhance the antiferromagnetic couplings between the nearest neighboring Mn ions, which effectively stabilizes the magnetic ground states. In addition, the nature of the temperature-dependent changes in the volume of the Ge-doped compound was revealed.


An expression for the density of states of two electronic bands with intraand inter-band correlations has been derived. The consequences of the inter-band interaction on Mott-Hubbard split bands are discussed. The model is applied to explain the metal, semi-metal and magnetic phase transitions in NiS by using a semi-elliptical form for the density of states of non-interacting electrons. It is shown that the temperature-dependent overlap and hybridization parameters between d- and p-bands can provoke both the phase transitions in NiS as pointed out earlier by White & Mott (1971)
