Electronic structure, lattice dynamics and thermodynamic stability of paramelaconite Cu4O3
2014
Abstract An ab initio study of the electronic structure, lattice dynamic and thermodynamic properties of paramelaconite Cu 4 O 3 is reported. The insulating, mixed-valence character of Cu 4 O 3 is elucidated by analyzing the band structure and the spin-orbital symmetry of the Cu-3 d hole states. Exchange coupling constants between Cu 2+ ions are computed which confirm the frustrated antiferromagnetism of the spin lattice. The lattice dynamics is studied from first principles and main features of the vibrational spectrum are assigned to the different chemical species Cu + , Cu 2+ and O. The thermodynamic stability of Cu 4 O 3 is investigated by calculating the free energy of the decompositio…
