Setting the Fe-O bond length at the value corresponding to the minimum total energy, we find the difference in antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic exchange energies as a function of the Fe-O-Fe bond angle $\\theta$. The effective interaction is antiferromagnetic for 63$^{\\circ}<\\theta<105^{\\circ}$, and is ferromagnetic otherwise. Full potential augmented plane wave calculations were also performed at $\\theta=100,105^{\\circ}$, confirming these results, and providing information relevant to the local anisotropy of the spin interactions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-01-09T17:19:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "first-principles calculations", "potential augmented plane wave calculations", "full potential augmented plane wave", "fe-o bond length", "minimum total energy" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005cond.mat..1178S" } } }
