It revealed that the double-perovskite Ba2CuOsO6, composed of the 3d (Cu2+) and 5d (Os6+) transition metal magnetic ions is magnetic insulator. The magnetic susceptibilities of Ba2CuOsO6 obey the Curie\u2013Weiss law, with an estimated Weiss temperature of \u221213.3 K, indicating AFM ordering. From the density functional theory approach, it is demonstrated that the spin exchange interaction between Cu ions plays a major role in exhibiting an antiferromagnetic behavior in the Ba2CuOsO6 system. An important factor to understand regarding the insulating behavior on Ba2CuOsO6 is the structural distortion shape of OsO6 octahedron, which should be closely connected with the ionic size of the A-site ion. Since the d-block of Os6+ (d2) ions of Ba2CuOsO6 is split into four states (xy &lt; xz, yz &lt; x2\u2013y2 &lt; z2), the crucial key is separation of doubly degenerated xz and yz levels to describe the magnetic insulating states of Ba2CuOsO6. By orbital symmetry breaking, caused by the spin\u2013orbit coupling, the t2g level of Os6+ (d2) ions is separated into three sublevels. Two electrons of Os6+ (d2) ions occupy two levels of the three spin\u2013orbit-coupled levels. Since Ba2CuOsO6 is a strongly correlated system, and the Os atom belongs to the heavy element group, one speculates that it is necessary to take into account both electron correlation and the spin\u2013orbit coupling effect in describing the magnetic insulating states of Ba2CuOsO6.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nano12010144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,7]],"date-time":"2022-01-07T03:46:27Z","timestamp":1641527187000},"page":"144","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Magnetic Structure and Origin of Insulating Behavior in the Ba2CuOsO6 System, and the Role of A-Site Ionic Size in Its Bandgap Opening: Density Functional Theory Approaches"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Taesu","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang 37673, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wang Ro","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Liberal Education, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonju 54896, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4087-4661","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Won-Joon","family":"Son","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), Samsung Electronics, 130 Samsung-ro, Yeongtong-gu, Suwon 16678, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ji-Hoon","family":"Shim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang 37673, Korea"},{"name":"Division of Advanced Materials Science, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang 37673, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Changhoon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Max Planck POSTECH Center for Complex Phase of Materials, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang 37673, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"235158","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevB.94.235158","article-title":"Ba2NiOsO6: A Dirac-Mott insulator with ferromagnetism near 100 K","volume":"94","author":"Feng","year":"2016","journal-title":"Phys.
