Density functional investigations on electronic structures, magnetic ordering and ferroelectric phase transition in multiferroic Bi2NiMnO6

Using the full-potential linearised augmented-plane wave (FP-LAPW) method based on density functional theory (DFT), we have investigated the electronic structures, the magnetic behavior, and the ferroelectric origin of multiferroic Bi2NiMnO6. The calculated ferromagnetic Curie temperature of Bi2NiMn...
