Fe-doped YMnO3 properties


  • Scientists have used the Modified Becke–Johnson potential to calculate spin-polarized electronic and magnetic properties. It is an improved correction method in Density Function Theory that gives more accurate band gap and electronic structure.


  • ε (ω) = ε1 ω + iε2 ω

  • The frequency-dependent dielectric function of a material has a major impact on its applications. Here, the dispersion, or how the speed of light changes in a material, was described by using real part ε1 (ω) , and optical absorption was described by using the imaginary part ε2( ω)


  • the doped system Fe in YMnO3 has an overall smaller value of the Seebeck coefficient than the undoped one, as doping introduces additional charge carriers in a material, which reduces the Seebeck effect


  • They optimized the crystal structure using third order Birch–Murnaghan Equation of State.This tells how the crystal’s total energy changes when its volume is slightly stretched or compressed — used to find the most stable structure. It depends on bulk modulus, its derivative, Pressure and Volume ratio.


  • The magnetic susceptibility of YFexMn1-xO3 decreases with increasing temperature. This is because, as with the rise of temperature, the magnetic domains become increasingly disordered, which reduces the net magnetization. This pattern follows the Curie-Weiss law of magnetization.


  • Pure YMnO₃: mostly Mn 3d and O 2p orbitals dominate near the Fermi level

  • With Fe doping: Fe 3d orbitals appear and mix with Mn 3d states. This mixing shifts energy levels → smaller band gap and stronger magnetism. Increasing Fe adds asymmetry between spin-up and spin-down channels → ferromagnetic tendency.
