Abstract

In this paper, we used the first principles (CASTEP) method to calculate the electronic properties ferropericlase (Mg0.9375Fe0.0625O) under 0 and 80 GPA. The calculated band gaps show that ferropericlase is a metal under 0 GPA, while it is a narrow-band semiconductor at 80 GPA. The ferropericlase at 0 GPA has some magnetic moment, while it has no moment at 80 GPA. The relations between band and Mg 2p, 2s Fe 3d and O 2s, 2p versus DOS have been discussed. We also find the ferropericlase exhibits metal behavior at some energies. Our calculations not only provide a reference to identify the ferropericlase in geological specimen but stimulate experiments in future.
