Abstract
By using the unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation and the real-space recursion method, we have investigated various
magnetic structures in an enlarged double cell of layered perovskite SrCeCoO4. These include the low-spin state ( 6 1
2g g t e ),
high-spin state ( 5 2
2g g t e ), as well as all combinations among the two states. Our results show that the magnetic ground state
mainly depends on the competition between the crystal field strength Dq and Hund’s coupling j , For a fixed j the magnetic
ground state is the high-spin antiferromagnetically ordered state..
