First-principles study of the structural, electronic, magnetic and ferroelectric properties of a charge ordered Iron(II)- Iron(III) formate framework
Abstract
Density functional theory calculations have been performed for the structural, electronic, magnetic and ferroelectric properties of a mixed-valence Fe(II)-Fe(III) formate framework [NH2(CH3)2][Fe IIIFe II(HCOO)6] (DMAFeFe). Recent experiments report a spontaneous electric polarization and our calculations are in agreement with the reported experimental value. Furthermore, we shed light into the microscopic mechanism leading to the observed value and as well how to possibly enhanced the polarization. The interplay between charge ordering, dipolar ordering of DMA+ cations and the induced structural distortions suggest new interesting directions to explore in these complex multifunctional hybrid perovskites.
