Tuning magnetic and electronic properties in exotic silver(II) fluorides using external pressure and eitaxial strain

 · Invited

Abstract

During the last two decades, Ag(II) fluorides have emerged as excellent analogues of undoped Cu(II) oxides. In this account I will illustrate how external pressure may be used to modify crystal structure and properties of these unique low-dimensional antiferromagnets. In addition, role will be discussed of strain for property modification and achieving superconductivity while theoretically modelling the epitaxially grown single layers of AgF2.
