Abstract

The electronic structures of quasi-one-dimensional ferrimagnetic Ca ₃Co₂O₆ are investigated using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) as well as the GGA plus on-site Coulomb interaction (GGA+U) scheme. GGA+U calculations reveal that the interchain ferrimagnetic Ca₃Co₂O₆ is a Mott-Hubbard insulator rather than a metal given from GGA. In addition, we found an on-site U induced 3z2-r2 orbital ordering on Co_pri sublattice which drives the intrachain ferromagnetic coupling along c-axis. Our findings suggest that strong electron-electron correlation plays an important role in Ca₃Co ₂O₆.
