When the ground-state (GS) structures in multicomponent magnetic systems are explored using theoretical calculations,magneticconfigurationsmustbeconsideredaswellasatomicconfigurations.However,anexhaustive search of the GS in both atomic and magnetic configurational spaces is prohibitively expensive. In this study, we present a cluster-expansion scheme to determine GS structures in multicomponent magnetic systems via a search in a reduced configurational space. The effectiveness of the scheme is illustrated by examining the GS structures in the MgO-NiO system, which is known as an exceptional rocksalt alloy that exhibits negative enthalpy of mixing.
