We have first studied the crystal and electronic structures, and magnetic property for sodium double tungstate NaFexCr 1-x(WO 4)2 (x =0, 0.50 and 1.0) compounds using the plane wave self-consistent method within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). We show that the ground state of sodium double tungstate compounds is the antiferromagnetic (AFM) state. We emphasize that the AFM coupling on the bc plane is generated by the 90 o superexchange mechanism. While the AFM coupling of the long-range magnetic interaction between the layers along the a - axis is generated by the Na mediated super - superexchange mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
