摘要: The magnetic and electronic structures of LaMn3Cr4O12 are investigated using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within both generalized gradient approximation (GGA) GGA + U (electronic correlation) methods. calculated results indicate that is an antiferromagnetic insulator. ordering demonstrated to be G-type Mn-site Cr-site spins. However, there no obvious coupling between sublattices, which verified by separate distribution their corresponding partial density states. Moreover, constants JCr-Cr JMn-Mn predicted − 5.0 (− 2.8) − 0.83 (− 0.63) meV GGA (GGA + U), respectively, consistent with experimentally observed two independent Neel temperatures (TN1 TN2). densities states reveal reported charge formula LaMn3+3Cr3+4O12.
