We have studied the origin of magnetic interaction in ɛ-Fe2O3 by ab-initio electronic structure calculations. The exchange integrals of the Heisenberg Hamiltonian have been calculated using the methods based on the density functional theory (DFT) employing generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with orbital dependent potential extension for 3d electrons of Fe (GGA + U method). The calculations confirm the ground antiferromagnetic (AFM) state with two Fe3+ sublattices oriented up (Fe2 and Fe3) and two Fe3+ sublattices oriented down (Fe1 and Fe4). The calculated exchange integrals, including also the intra-sublattice ones, are all of AFM type. Their strength weighted by the number of neighbors is larger between the Fe sublattices with opposite spins than between the sublattices with equal spin directions.
