Abstract

The electronic states of Mn15O56 and Mn14FeO56 cluster models were theoretically calculated by the DV-Xα method, a first principle molecular orbital method that adopts the Hartree-Fock-Slater approximation. The Mn14FeO56 cluster model, wherein an Fe atom is substituted for the centermost Mn atom, shows a lower energy band gap than Mn15O56. The Fe atom substituted for the centermost Mn atom in the Mn15O56 model affects the interaction of Mn-3d and O-2p, as well as Fe-3d and O-2p. It is concluded that the electrical conductivity of Mn14FeO56 is improved over that of Mn15O56 by the substitution of the Fe atom for the Mn atom.
