Abstract:
First principle calculations are employed to investigate the anti-ferromagnetic CaMnO3 with regard to its geometry, ground state electronic structure and charge distributions. The G-type anti-ferromagnetic CaMnO3 is found to be more stable via total energy minimization calculations; the calculated energy band structure reveals its band gap of 0.7 eV. There are combinations of light carriers in conduction bands and heavy carriers in valence bands that should favor high thermoelectric properties. The Mnd and Op orbitals are responsible for energy bands near Fermi level and they contribute to electronic property. There is strong hybridization between Mnd and Op orbitals and, the hybridization between Mn and O1 orbitals is stronger, it is indicated that the charge carriers are apt to transport along Mn-O1.
