Abstract
The detailed first principle density functional theory calculations are carried out to investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of magnetoelectric compound Ca2CoSi2O7. The magnetic properties of this system are analyzed by calculating various hopping integrals as well as exchange interactions and deriving the relevant spin Hamiltonian. The dominant exchange path is visualized with Wannier functions plotting. Only intra planer nearest neighbor exchange interaction is strong in this system. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy is calculated for this system, and the results of the calculation reveal that the spin quantization axis lies in the ab plane.
