[Wien] Qestion about DOS results

Tue Dec 11 19:25:14 CET 2018

U2O5 seems to be a difficult system;

What I see is a Pnma system with 16 formula units, also, U is a 5f so it is not so localized as 4f and the magnetic moment (mm) is not so strong.

Another point is; Do the U mm have a parallel or antiparallel interaction?
I found an article that calculated the electronic structure;
DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.7b00014
Inorg. Chem. 2017, 56, 4468−4473
where they find a small difference between ferro and antiferro arrangements, and they do not report the U mm

You do not need to put 'O' as non magnetic, you can put all atoms as 'up' and the calculation will reduce their mm

I little bit confused with the comments about my calculation. I actually have a semiconductor system of U(2 atoms)-O (5 atoms). I defined the spin as UP-for both U atoms and non-for O atoms. Here I am giving the case.inst file for your consideration.

Dear  Lyudmila,
that's a strange remark,
it means, if I change the structure and the type of atoms the result becomes different,
but it means nothing if I don't know the structure and the elements

I also wonder what " ferromagnetic and nonmagnetic elements" should be
and why you have a ferromagnetic order in cases where the magnetic moments have opposite signs (atoms 1/2 and 7/8 in your example).
seems there is some confusion with physical concepts this is a ferrimagnet (i not o).

The behaviour of the magnetic moments of alloys is very often in accordance with the so called Slater Pauling rule
that is, the total moment depends on the number of valence electrons and the individual moments are adjusted to  result in the correct total moment.
For localized moment systems it is caused by a trapping of the Fermi energy in a minimum of the density of states for minority  (or majority) electrons.
Maybe this explains your observation. It's not a miracle, it's physics.

Ciao
Gerhard

Details are important.
Once I had a study with an idea of the magnetic moment dependence on the
environment. You can see result for a system with a ferromagnetic and a
nonmagnetic elements. Number 3 and 4 are NM, rest are FM:
:MMI001: in 1= 2.69759
:MMI002: in 2= 2.60331
:MMI003: in 3=-0.02591 NM
:MMI004: in 4=-0.01019 NM
:MMI005: in 5= 1.12279
:MMI006: in 6= 0.34180
:MMI007: in 7=-0.05635 <---!
:MMI008: in 8=-0.07717 <---!
The same structure and lattice parameter and another NM element:
:MMI001: in 1= 2.21855
:MMI002: in 2= 2.07591
:MMI003: in 3=-0.00358 NM
:MMI004: in 4= 0.00406 NM
:MMI005: in 5= 0.66093
:MMI006: in 6=-0.08633 <---!
:MMI007: in 7=-0.44927
:MMI008: in 8=-0.74394
