Spin polarization in the phase diagram of a Li–Fe–S system

Abstract Divalent and trivalent states of Fe ions are known to be stable in inorganic compounds. We focus a novel Li x FeS5 cathode, in which the Li content (x) changes from 2 to 10 by an electrochemical technique. As x increases from 2, a Pauli paramagnetic conductive Li2FeS5 phase changes into a s...

description Abstract Divalent and trivalent states of Fe ions are known to be stable in inorganic compounds.

Density functional theory calculations suggest that Fe+ ions in a high-x phase are responsible for ferromagnetic spin polarization.
