Electronic structure and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism in A₂CrB′O₆ (A = Ca, Sr; B′ = W, Re, and Os) oxides

A systematic electronic structure study of A₂CrB′O₆ (A = Ca, Sr; B′ = W, Re, and Os) has been performed by employing the local spin-density approximation (LSDA) as well as the GGA and LSDA + U methods using the fully relativistic spin-polarized Dirac linear muffin-tin orbital band-structure method....
