Abstract First-principals calculations show that the magnetization reversal is accompanying with the opposite sense of rotation of neighboring oxygen octahedra along [111] direction which is called the antiferrodistortive displacement in BiCrO3. The coupling between magnetization and antiferrodistortive distortion is mainly caused by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction which is driven by the eg-eg states antiferromagnetic interaction in Cr-3d. A critical value of on-site Coulomb interaction prohibiting the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and thus the magnetization reversal is found to be 1.3 eV.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
