摘要
Using both the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and GGA+U density functionals and including the spin-orbit interaction while allowing for noncollinear spin orientations, we have calculated many of the properties of the multiferroic Bi2NiMnO6. The GGA and GGA+U results are in unexpectedly close agreement; in particular, their lattice constants are in excellent agreement with the measured values. The calculated GGA and GGA+U magnetizations per formula unit are 4.92 and 4.99 mu(B) and the calculated ferroelectric polarizations are 16.84 and 16.63 mu C cm(-2). A discussion is given of the C2 space group of Bi2NiMnO6 and of the centrosymmetric C2/m space group from which it can be generated with small atomic displacements.
