Abstract

First principles calculations within the local-spin-density-functional theory (LSDFT) framework are presented of densities of electronic states for MnO, LiMnO2 in the monoclinic and orthorhombic structures, cubic LiMn204 spinel and λ-MnO2 (delithiated spinel), all in antiferromagnetic spin configurations. The changes in energy spectra as the Mn oxidation state varies between 2+ and 4+ are illustrated. Preliminary calculations for Co-doped LiMnO2 are presented, and the destabilization of a monoclinic relative to a rhombohedral structure is discussed.
