The calculations show that the ground state of Ca2Mn2O5 is a D-type anti-ferromagnetic structure with the anti-ferromagnetic spin coupling along the c-direction. The corresponding electronic structure of the D-type state is investigated, and the results display that Ca2Mn2O5 is an insulator with an indirect energy gap of -2.08eV. By the partiM density-of-state analysis, the valence band maximum is mainly contributed to by the 0-213 orbitMs and the conduction band minimum is contributed to by the 0-213 and Mn-3d orbitals. Due to the Coulomb repulsion interaction between electrons, the density of state of Mn-3d is pulled to -6--4.5eV.展开更多
