The electronic, magnetic properties and lattice relaxations of oxygen-deficient cubic strontium ferrite, SrFeO2.875, in ferromagnetic configuration are studied by means of the density functional theory using LCAO basis (SIESTA code) calculations. It is shown that Fe and Sr atoms are displaced from oxygen vacancies while oxygen anions are attracted to the vacancies. The DOS distributions, magnetic moments and atomic effective charges are analyzed in comparison with vacancy free SrFeO3; these parameters are found to change weakly with appearance of oxygen vacancies, in contrast to conventional ionic picture. Some strengthening of Fe-O covalent bonds in the vicinity of the oxygen vacancy is found. The formation energy of oxygen vacancies and divacancies are evaluated. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
