First-principles study of structural and electronic properties of multiferroic oxide Mn3TeO6 under high pressure

Mn3TeO6(MTO)has been experimentally found to adopt a P21/n structure under high pressure,which exhibits a significantly smaller band gap compared to the atmospheric R(3)phase.In this study,we systematically investigate the magnetism,structural phase transition,and electronic properties of MTO under high pressure through first-principles cal-culations.Both R(3)and P21/n phases of MTO are antiferromagnetic at zero temperature.The R(3)phase transforms to the P21/n phase at 7.58 GPa,accompanied by a considerable volume collapse of about 6.47%.Employing the accurate method that combines DFT+U and GW,the calculated band gap of R3 phase at zero pressure is very close to the experimental values,while that of the P21/n phase is significantly overestimated.The main reason for this difference is that the experi-mental study incorrectly used the Kubelka-Munk plot for the indirect band gap to obtain the band gap of the P21/n phase instead of the Kubelka-Munk plot for the direct band gap.Furthermore,our study reveals that the transition from the R(3)phase to the P21/n phase is accompanied by a slight reduction in the band gap.
