Abstract

Self-consistent spin-polarized energy bands have been calculated for tetragonal and orthorhombic La2CuO4. No stable antiferromagnetic order is found in either the stoichiometric compound or oxygen deficient La2CuO3.75. Constraining the occupancy of Brillouin zone boundary states leads to a small antiferromagnetic moment in both systems which is rapidly quenched by Ba doping.
