Preface

Materials possess various properties such as magnetism, electric conductivity, ferroelectricity, photonics, thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, to name a few. In general, such properties do not alter independently of one another. Instead, strong couplings and interplay between these properties of materials can be noted. This is not surprising because various physical properties originate from the electronic structure of a material, i.e., a change in the electronic structure of a material will lead to changes in the physical properties of the material. Physical properties (usually representing functional aspects) can also be coupled with mechanical behaviors such as strain and deformation because a change in atomistic c
