Abstract

Using the real-space Hartree Fock approximation, the magnetic phase diagram of a five-orbital Hubbard model for the iron-based superconductors is studied varying the electronic density in the range from 5 to 7 electrons per transition metal atom. The Hubbard interaction is also varied, at a fixed Hund coupling . Several qualitative trends and a variety of competing magnetic states are observed. At =5, a robust G-type antiferromagnetic insulator is found, in agreement with experimental results for BaMnAs. As increases away from 5, magnetic states with an increasing number of nearest-neighbors ferromagnetic links become energetically stable. This includes the well-known C-type antiferromagnetic state at =6, the E-phase known to exist in FeTe, and also a variety of novel states not found yet experimentally, some of them involving blocks of ferromagnetically oriented spins. Regions of phase separation, as in Mn-oxides, have also been detected. Comparison with previous theoretical investigations indicate that these qualitative trends may be generic characteristics of phase diagrams of multiorbital Hubbard models.
