We study a selection of Cu-containing magnetic quadruple perovskites (CaCu3Ti4O12 LaCu3Fe4O12, and YCu3Co4O12) by ab initio calculations, and show that Cu is in an effective divalent Cu(II)-like state or a trivalent Cu(III) state depending on the choice of octahedral cation. Based on the electronic structure, we also discuss the role of Mott and Zhang-Rice physics in this materials class.

Abstract

We study a selection of Cu-containing magnetic quadruple perovskites (CaCu3Ti4O12 LaCu3Fe4O12, and YCu3Co4O12) by ab initio calculations, and show that Cu is in an effective divalent Cu(II)-like state or a trivalent Cu(III) state depending on the choice of octahedral cation. Based on the electronic structure, we also discuss the role of Mott and Zhang-Rice physics in this materials class.
