Abstract
Spinel-type crystals AMe2O4 encompass a wide range of practical applications like photocatalysis or spintronics, but often demonstrate non-trivial electronic and magnetic properties which theoretical description is mitigated. In this work, we performed DFT+U calculations for the most extensive set of neutral point defects in Fe3O4 (magnetite) and FeCr2O4 (chromite) and investigated all the possible types of cationic and oxygen defects in both spinels. Our results unveil both similarities and principal differences between the defective Fe3O4 and FeCr2O4, posing chromite as a material less prone to defect formation, and could be a valuable asset to the development of new multiscale models of steel corrosion.
