• Abstract summary: We study the origin of the anti-ferromagnetic exchange interaction between spins on Cr ions for the spin-chain compound Ba$_6$Cr$$S$_10$. Most importantly, we have found the co-existence of a charge density wave phase along one line and an anti-ferromagnetic spin chain along another.

• Abstract: Here we have performed detailed first principles calculations for the electronic structure and magnetic properties of Ba$_6$Cr$_2$S$_{10}$ to study the origin of the anti-ferromagnetic exchange interaction between spins on Cr ions for the spin-chain compound Ba$_6$Cr$_2$S$_{10}$ synthesised recently. Most importantly, we have found the co-existence of a charge density wave phase along one line and an anti-ferromagnetic spin chain along another. The dimerization of sulfur atoms loosely bonded with Ba atoms drives the system into an insulating state owing to the formation of charge density wave. Meanwhile, the small size of the effective Hubbard $U$ parameter ($\sim 0.5$ eV) due to electrostatic screening mainly accounts for the anti-ferromagnetic ground state. This co-existence equips us with a platform to tune the charge and spin degrees of freedom independently. Moreover, there exists a next-nearest-neighbouring anti-ferromagnetic interaction along the chain, which could bring forward spin frustration and hence quantum spin liquid.

  We capture the physics of a series of spin stripe/2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet compounds on a square lattice. An intermediate range of $x in [0.08, 0.55]$ is identified for a nonmagnetic phase without the long-range N'eel or stripe order. Deep inside this phase around $x = 0.3$, we observe signatures potentially linked to randomness-induced short-range spin-liquid-like states.

  This article demonstrates that the hyperfine coupling, which consists of Fermi contact and dipolar interactions, can mediate the application of spin-orbit torques acting on nuclear spins. The reactions to the equilibrium and nonequilibrium components of the spin density is a torque on the nucleus with field-like and damping-like components. This nuclear spin-orbit torque is a step toward stabilizing and controlling nuclear magnetic momenta, in magnitude and direction, and realizing nuclear spintronics.
