The Löwdin orthogonalization and magnetoelectric coupling for noncentrosymmetric ions
https://doi.org/10.26907/mrsej-19409
Abstract
The Löwdin orthogonalization procedure being the well-known technique, particularly in quantum chemistry, however, gives rise to novel effects missed in earlier studies. Making use of the technique of irreducible tensorial operators, we have developed a regular procedure for the account of the orthogonalization effects. For illustration, we address the emergence of a specific magnetoelectric coupling for noncentrosymmetric 3d or 4f ions.
