First-principles Study on the Magnetic,Half-metal and Thermoelectric Transport Properties of Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Compounds [C_4N_2H_(12)][Fe_4~Ⅱ(HPO_3)_2(C_2O_4)_3]

The electronic structure,magnetic and half-metal properties of inorganic-organic hybrid compound [C_4N_2H_(12)][Fe_4~Ⅱ(HPO_3)_2(C_2O_4)_3] are investigated by using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method within density-functional theory (DFT) calculations.The density of states (DOS),the total energy of the cell and the spontaneous magnetic moment of [C_4N_2H_(12)][Fe_4~Ⅱ(HPO_3)_2(C_2O_4)_3] are calculated.The calculation results reveal that the low-temperature phase of [C_4N_2H_(12)][Fe_4~Ⅱ(HPO_3)_2(C_2O_4)_3] exhibits a stable ferromagnetic (FM) ground state,and we find that this organic compound is a half-metal in FM state.In addition,we have calculated antiferromagnetically coupled interactions,revealing the existence of antiferromagnetic (AFM),which is in agreement with the experiment.We have also found that [C_4N_2H_(12)][Fe_4~Ⅱ(HPO_3)_2(C_2O_4)_3] is a semiconductor in the AFM state with a band gap of about 0.40 eV.Subsequently,the transport properties for potential thermoelectric applications have been studied in detail based on the Boltzmann transport theory.
