Density functional theory studies of fe and mn substituted cocr2o4

Abstract

Spinel compound CoCr2O4 is found to be a promising multiferroic material as it exhibits switchable electric polarization under reversal of magnetic field In a bid to enhance the functional properties of CoCr2O4 recent experiments attempted substitution of Cr by a another magnetic atom Substitution of Fe and Mn in place of Cr led to fascinating phenomena like temperature and composition dependent magnetic compensations magnetostrsiction effects composition dependent tunable exchange bias wh
