First Principles Investigation of Ferromagnetism for Zn 1 - xMnxY ( Y = S , Se , Te )
نویسندگان
چکیده
Through first-principles full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital (FP-LMTO) method within the local density approximation, we investigate the structural and electronic properties of Zn1-xMnx Y (VIa) where Y represent an element of the VIa column(S, Se and Te) compounds-based diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) in the Zinc-blend structure. We have investigated the lattice parameters and band gap energies. The lattice constants a are found to change linearly for the Zn1-xMnxTe and Zn1-xMnxS alloy.

Room-temperature ferromagnetism in a II-VI diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn(1-x)Cr(x)Te.
The magnetic and magneto-optical properties of a Cr-doped II-VI semiconductor ZnTe were investigated. Magnetic circular dichroism measurements showed a strong interaction between the sp carriers and localized d spins, indicating that Zn(1-x)Cr(x)Te is a diluted magnetic semiconductor. The Curie temperature of the film with x=0.20 was estimated to be 300+/-10 K, which is the highest value ever r...
متن کاملRoom-temperature ferromagnetism in carbon-doped ZnO.
We report ferromagnetism in carbon-doped ZnO. Our first-principles calculations based on density functional theory predicted a magnetic moment of 2.02 mu(B) per carbon when carbon substitutes oxygen in ZnO, and an ferromagnetic coupling among magnetic moments of the carbon dopants. The theoretical prediction was confirmed experimentally. C-doped ZnO films deposited by pulsed-laser deposition sh...
متن کاملFirst principles based design and experimental evidence for a ZnO-based ferromagnet at room temperature.
The introduction of ferromagnetic order in ZnO results in a transparent piezoelectric ferromagnet and further expands its already wide range of applications into the emerging field of spintronics. Through an analysis of density functional calculations we determine the nature of magnetic interactions for transition metals doped ZnO and develop a physical picture based on hybridization, superexch...
متن کاملZn-Se-Te multilayers with submonolayer quantities of Te: Type-II quantum structures and isoelectronic centers
Detailed studies with spectral and time-resolved photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, and absorption spectroscopies show the formation of type-II quantum structures squantum dotsd in a Zn-Se-Te multilayer system with submonolayer quantities of Te. Moreover, it is shown that in addition to these quantum dots, Te isoelectronic centers are also present in the same material system and c...
متن کاملValidation of interstitial iron and consequences of nonstoichiometry in mackinawite (Fe(1+x)S).
A theoretical investigation of the relationship between chemical composition and electronic structure was performed on the nonstoichiometric iron sulfide, mackinawite (Fe(1+x)S), which is isostructural and isoelectronic with the superconducting Fe(1+x)Se and Fe(1+x)(Te(1-y)Se(y)) phases. Even though Fe(1+x)S has not been measured for superconductivity, the effects of stoichiometry on transport ...
