Magnetic and optical properties in the 1D TM-O chain compounds Sr2TMO3 (TM = Ni, Co): A first-principle investigation

摘要

In this paper, we have calculated the structural, electronic, magnetic and optical properties of Sr2NiO3 and Sr2CoO3 using density functional theory (DFT) within generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The crystal structure of both materials is well described with Immm (No. 71) symmetry which are isostructural with Sr2CuO3 and both are quasi-one-dimensional (1D) rectangular lattice G-type antiferromagnets, in consistent with the experimental data.
