Abstract
We present results based on local spin density calculations of a computational search for half-metallic (HM) antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials within the class of double perovskite structure oxides LaM'M''O3 that incorporate open shell 3d (or 4d) transition metal ions M', M''. The pairs M'M'' = MnCo, CrFe, CrRu, CrNi, MnV, and VCu are studied. La2VMnO6 is the most promising candidate, with the HM AFM phase more stable by 0.17 eV/cell than the ferromagnetic phase. La2VCuO6 is another promising possibility, but due to S=1/2 ions quantum fluctuations my play an important role in determining the ground state magnetic and electronic structure. This study indicates that HM AFM materials should not be prohibitively difficult to find.
