Table 1. The calculated energy difference (per Fe/Mn/Cr atom) between the reference ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) states.
m 1 and m 2 are the local magnetic moments for A cations using Wigner–Seitz spheres. M is the net magnetization. All moments are in units of μB. G-AFM = G-type antiferromagnetic, C-AFM = C-type antiferromagnetic and A-AFM = A-type antiferromagnetic.
