Abstract :Iron oxide is one of the most important components in the Earth's mantle. The recent discovery of the stable presence of Fe$_{5}$O$_{6}$ in the Earth's mantle environment has stimulated significant interests in understanding of this new category of iron oxides. We report the electronic structure and magnetic properties of Fe$_{5}$O$_{6}$ calculated by the density functional theory plus dynamic mean field theory (DFT + DMFT) approach. Our calculations indicate that Fe$_{5}$O$_{6}$ is a conductor at ambient pressure with dominant Fe-$3d$ density of states at the Fermi level. The magnetic moments of iron atoms at three non-equivalent crystallographic sites in Fe$_{5}$O$_{6}$ collapse at significantly different rates under pressure. This site-selective collapse of magnetic moments originates from the shifting of energy levels and the consequent charge transfer among the Fe-$3d$ orbits when Fe$_{5}$O$_{6}$ is being compressed. Our simulations suggest that there could be high conductivity and volume contraction in Fe$_{5}$O$_{6}$ at high pressure, which may induce anomalous features in seismic velocity, energy exchange, and mass distribution in the deep interior of the Earth.
