Rare earth perovskites(RFeO₃,RCrO₃ and R a rare earth element) have been studied for a long time due to having interesting magnetic behaviors,i.e magnetization reversal(Mr) and spin reorientation(SR). In this work, we shed some more light onto the magnetic properties of the rare earth perovskites(RFeO’s) by using density functional theory (DFT) to fit a microscopic Heisenberg model that includes the superexchange and the DMI between both Fe-Fe and Fe-R interactions. This model is used to do classical spin dynamics and it is employed as a global general model where the different parameters are tuned to understand their specific role in the (MR) and (SR) transitions. The results are also compared with analytical solutions to confirm the consistency of the spin dynamics solutions. Our works allow to explain the origin of the SR by determining the important parameters for the SR temperature interval and how the R magnetism is affected while it is in its paramagnetic regime. Our study also allows to fully understand the exact microscopic origin of the MR.
