Using the density functional theory, we perform a full atomic relaxation of the bulk ferrite with 12.5%-concentration of monoatomic interstitial Cr, which is periodically located at the edges of the Fe? b.c.c. cell. As shown, structural relaxa-tion leads to significant atomic displacements and results in the formation of novel high-stable magnetoelastic configura-tions with parallel chains of octahedrically arranged Fe. The enhanced magnetic polarization in the low-symmetry metallic state of such alloys can be externally controlled by addi-tional introduction of nonmagnetic impurities like nitrogen. The electronic properties of obtained interstitial alloys can have important consequences for the applications in spintronic and multifunctional devices.
