Physical Review B. Condensed Matter and Materials Physics.  ISSN 1098-0121.  77 . doi: 10.1103/PhysRevB.77.134448 Vis sammendrag

  From analyses of structural information for oxides with Fe in different oxidn. states and computationally estd. Mossbauer parameters (hyperfine field, isomer shift, and quadrupole splitting) based on d.-functional theory, we show that the charges residing on the different constituents cannot be directly derived either from structural or Mossbauer measurements. We have analyzed charge d., charge transfer, electron localization function, crystal orbital Hamilton population, and partial d. of states to explain the bonding characteristics. Born-effective charge tensor is used to quantify the charges present at the at. sites in Sr4Fe4O11. We show that the effects of covalence are important in explaining the electronic structure, magnetism, and chem. bonding in oxygen-vacancy-ordered systems such as Sr4Fe4O11 and on ignoring covalence, one can be misled in oxidn.-state assignments.

  D. functional theory calcns. within the generalized-gradient approxn. are used to establish the ground-state structure, equil. structural parameters, and electronic structure for MBeH3 phases. From the 24 structural arrangements used as inputs for structural optimization calcns., the ground-state crystal structures of MBeH3 phases have been predicted. At ambient conditions, LiBeH3 and NaBeH3 crystallize with perovskite-related orthorhombic and cubic structures, resp. The remaining phases KBeH3, RbBeH3, and CsBeH3 crystallize in a monoclinic structure. In the predicted phases one can store up to 15.93 wt. % of hydrogen. The formation energy for the MBeH3 phases have been investigated along different reaction pathways. The electronic structures reveal that all these phases are insulators with estd. band gaps varying between 1.79 and 3.44 eV.

  Spin, charge, and orbital orderings are influenced by electron/hole doping, cation radii, oxygen stoichiometry, temp., magnetic field, and so on. In order to understand the role of electron/hole doping, we have studied variations in spin, charge, and orbital ordering in terms of d-band filling for YBaMn2O5, YBaFe2O5, and YBaCo2O5. The calcns. were performed using d. functional theory as implemented in the full-potential linearized APW method. We have carried out calcns. for nonmagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic configurations. A ferrimagnetic ground state was established for YBaMn2O5, whereas YBaFe2O5 and YBaCo2O5 have antiferromagnetic ground states; all of these results are in agreement with exptl. findings. The effects of spin-orbit coupling, the Hubbard U parameter, and orbital polarization on the magnetic properties were also analyzed. The electronic band characteristics were analyzed using total as well as site- and orbital-projected densities of states. Inclusion of spin-orbit coupling and Coulomb correlation effects in the calcns. was found to be important in order to reproduce the exptl. established semiconducting behaviors of YBaFe2O5 and YBaCo2O5. In order to quantify the charges at each at. site, we made use of the Bader "atom-in-mol." concept and Born effective-charge (BEC) analyses. The structural optimizations and BEC tensor calcns. were performed using the VASP-PAW method. The different types of charge and orbital orderings in these compds. were visualized using the energy-projected d. matrixes of the d electrons. Substantial differences in ordering patterns with respect to d-band filling emerged. Ordering of the dz2 orbital of Mn in YBaMn2O5 gave rise to G-type ferrimagnetic spin ordering along the c direction and checkerboard-type charge ordering, whereas ordering of the dx2-y2 orbital of Fe in YBaFe2O5 caused Wollan-Koehler G-type antiferromagnetic spin ordering along the b direction and stripe-type charge ordering. Similarly, a complex pattern of orbital ordering in YBaCo2O5 activated spin and charge orderings similar to those in YBaFe2O5.

  Recently, using d.-functional theor. calcns., we have reported (2006) that formal Fe3+ ions reside at the square-pyramidal site and Fe4+ ions in the octahedral site in Sr4Fe4O11. Based on the interpretation of exptl. structural and Mossbauer data from the literature, Adler concludes that our previous first-principles results disagree with expts. on the assignment of oxidn. states to Fe in the square-pyramidal and octahedral environments in Sr4Fe4O11. From a crit. examn. of the structure data for Sr4Fe4O11 and related oxides with Fe in different oxidn. states and theor. simulated Mossbauer parameters (hyperfine field, isomer shift, and quadrupole splitting), here we show that information on charges residing on the different constituents cannot be directly derived either from exptl. structure or Mossbauer data. From addnl. analyses of the chem. bonding on the basis of charge d., charge transfer, electron localization function, crystal orbital Hamilton population, Born effective charge, and partial d. of states, we substantiate our previous assignment of formal Fe3+ and Fe4+ to the square-pyramidal and octahedral sites, resp., in Sr4Fe4O11.
