Abstract

We study structure and magnetic properties of La0.5Ba0.5CoO3(LBGO) using ab initio density functional theory (DFT) method based on pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis. We find the cubic structure of LBCO is ferromagnetic and lower in energy than the nonmagnetic rhombohedral structure. Through the calculation of G-point phonons of LBCO in the cubic structure, we determine its structural instabilities and find that they correspond to the structural phase transition accompanying a para-ferromagnetic transition observed recently.
