Abstract

The article is devoted to quantum chemical calculations of the possibility of manganese substitution of various iron and barium positions in barium hexaferrite BaFe12O19. The magnetic moments of the obtained systems were also calculated. A systematic computational search based on density functional theory (DFT) was used for the calculation. It has been established that the most energetically advantageous iron replacement position is the 12k position. At the same time, it was found that the substitution of barium with manganese is possible in the Ba –MnO configuration.
