The recently reported room-temperature ferromagnetism in Cd 12xMnxGeP2 was investigated for x51.0, 0.5, and 0.25 by the local density first-principles full-potential linearized augmented plane wave ~FLAPW! and DMOL 3 methods within both local-density approximation ~LDA ! and generalized gradient approximation ~GGA!. We find that the total energy of the antiferromagnetic ~AFM! state is lower than the corresponding ferromagnetic~FM! state for allx studied. The GGA gives a better description of magnetic properties than LDA mainly due to its better prediction of structure, particularly for high Mn concentrations. The total spin moment of Cd12xMnxGeP2 is ;5.0mB per Mn atom. The FM alignment between Mn and P increases the total energy of the Mn-Mn FM coupling and makes the AFM ordering preferable.
