dc.descriptionWe present the results of electronic structure calculations for the two-dimensional ferromagnet Rb_2CrCl_4. They are obtained by the augmented spherical wave method as based on density functional theory and the local density approximation. In agreement with experimental data Rb_2CrCl_4 is found to be semiconducting and displays long-range ferromagnetic order of the localized Cr 3d moments. The magnetic properties are almost independent of the structural modifications arising from the Jahn-Teller instability, which leads from the parent body-centered tetragonal K_2NiF_4 structure to a side-centered orthorhombic lattice. In contrast, our calculations give evidence for a strong response of the optical band gap to the corresponding structural changes.
