摘要
First-principles LMTO-ASA band calculations are performed for Ga1-xFezAs (x = 1, 1/4, 1/8) by assuming supercell structures. It is found that the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state is stable for x = 1/4. For x = 1/8, ferromagnetic (FM) state is more stable than AFM state, and no stable magnetic state exists for x = 1. In both the cases the magnetic moments of As and Ga atoms are parallel to those of the nearest Fe atoms due to the p-d hybridization. Fhrther, the band structure shows rather localized Fe 3d state in the gap, and the parallel polarization is confined rather in the vicinity of Fe site.
