Abstract
The electronic and magnetic properties of SrFeO~2~ with different magnetic configurations have been calculated via the plane‐wave pseudopotential density functional theory method, using the experimental lattice parameters. The results give an antiferromagnetic ground state for SrFeO~2~ with an absolute magnetic moment agreeing very well with the experimental report. In comparison with the counterparts whose magnetic moments are parallel to the c axis, the structures with spin moments parallel to the a (or b) axis exhibit no observable preference in total energy, but show different density distributions of the Fe 3__d__ and Fe 3__d__ states. The square‐planar crystal field splits the Fe 3__d__ orbitals into a high‐level d, a low d, and intermediate d~xy~ and d~xz~ or d~yz~ components. The exchange splitting is larger than the crystal‐field splitting, resulting in the high‐spin Fe 3d states. Referred to the triplet O~2~, the O‐vacancy formation energy from SrFeO~3~ to SrFeO~2~ has been deduced as well, along with its dependence on the temperature and O~2~ partial pressure. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
