Abstract

Within the virtual crystal approximation and J1–J2–J3J1–J2–J3 model, the electronic structures and magnetic properties of iron-selenide KxFe2Se2KxFe2Se2 (0.0⩽x⩽1.00.0⩽x⩽1.0) are studied by first-principles calculations. Its phase diagram can be classified into two different phases: (I) the collinear antiferromagnetic state (0.0⩽x⩽0.50.0⩽x⩽0.5), and (II) the bi-collinear antiferromagnetic state (0.5⩽x⩽1.00.5⩽x⩽1.0). Such magnetic phases can be well explained by the competition among the nearest, next-nearest, and next-next-nearest neighbor couplings J1J1, J2J2, and J3J3.
