Discovery in 2019

For the first time in the world, the materials which do not possess any magnetic species in their structure, demonstrate magnetic interaction through naked eye observation as well as quantitative measurement using a SQUID magnetometer.

Details of our unexpected finding has recently been reported in a peer reviewed journal (New Journal of Chemistry, DOI : https://doi.org/10.1039/C9NJ02730K)

DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY

Density-functional theory (DFT) is a computational quantum mechanical modelling method used in physics, chemistry and materials science to investigate the electronic structure (or nuclear structure) (principally the ground state) of many-body systems, in particular atoms, molecules, and the condensed phases. Using this theory, the properties of a many-electron system can be determined by using functionals, i.e. functions of another function.
