Ferrimagnetic and semiconducting CaCu3Fe2Sb2O12 by first principles

CaCu3Fe2Sb2O12 is mechanically stable, thermodynamically stable at pressures above 18 GPa. Both GGA and GGA + U methods predict that it is a ferrimagnetic semiconductor with Fe3+ in high spin state (S = 5/2). The coupling of Fe–Cu is antiferromagnetic, while that of Cu–Cu is ferromagnetic. The calculated total spin moment is 6.17 μB.
