Understanding the microscopic origin of the magnetic interactions in CoNb2O6 by Amanda A. Konieczna, David A. S. Kaib, Stephen M. Winter, Roser Valentí

“…Abstract Motivated by the on-going discussion on the nature of magnetism in the quantum Ising chain CoNb2O6, we present a first-principles-based analysis of its exchange interactions with additional modeling, addressing drawbacks of a purely density functional theory ansatz. This method allows us to extract and understand the origin of the magnetic couplings—including all symmetry-allowed terms - and resolve conflicting model descriptions in CoNb2O6. …”

Multiattribute Supply and Demand Matching Decision Model for Online-Listed Rental Housing: An Empirical Study Based on Shanghai by Lingyan Li, Jiangying An, Yan Li, Xiaotong Guo

“…The model considers the multiattribute information of ORH, such as area, transportation, rent, room, and interior decoration, and quantifies their perceived utility values based on the theory of disappointment. Thereafter, we construct the matching decision model and verify it for feasibility by applying it to Shanghai’s ORH supply and demand information—our empirical case. …”

The Synthetic Effects of Iron with Sulfur and Fluorine on Photoabsorption and Photocatalytic Performance in Codoped by Xiaohua Li, Jibao Lu, Ying Dai, Meng Guo, Baibiao Huang

“…The structural and electronic properties of iron-fluorine (Fe-F) and iron-sulfur (Fe-S) codoped anatase TiO2 are investigated by first-principles based on density functional theory. Our results show that the formation energy of codoped system is lower than that of single-element doping, which indicates the synergic effect of codoping on the stability of the structure. …”
