Özet
The half-metallic calculations of new variant perovskites Li2CrO6 and Li2CuO6 were carried out
by using WIEN2k computational code. First, the ferromagnetic (FM) and non-magnetic (NM)
phases were compared, and FM phases were obtained energetically more stable. The equilibrium
lattice constants were obtained as 7.63 Å and 7.66 Å for Li2CrO6 and Li2CuO6, respectively.
Second, the electronic calculations were performed, and the semiconduction properties were seen
in spin-up states while spin-down states showed metallic nature. The band gaps were obtained as
1.806 eV and 1.177 eV for Li2CrO6 and Li2CuO6, respectively. Since variant perovskites Li2CrO6
and Li2CuO6 showed 100% spin polarizations, these were obtained as true half-metallic
ferromagnetic materials. Then the total magnetic moments were obtained as 4.00 μB/f.u., 5.00
μB/f.u. When both the electronic and magnetic properties of the compounds are examined, the
variant perovskites Li2CrO6 and Li2CuO6 are suitable materials for spintronics applications.
