The electronic structure and spin polarization properties of pentagonal structure PdSe2 doped with transition metal atoms are studied through first- principles calculations. The theoretical investigations show that the band gap of the PdSe2 monolayer decreases after introducing Cr, Mn, Fe and Co dopants. The projected densities of states show that p-d orbital couplings between the transition metal atoms and PdSe2 generate new spin nondegenerate states near the Fermi level which make the system spin polarized. The calculated magnetic moments, spin density distributions and charge transfer of the systems suggest that the spin polarization in Cr-doped PdSe2 will be the biggest. Our work shows that the properties of PdSe2 can be modified by doping transition metal atoms, which provides opportunity for the applications of PdSe2 in electronics and spintronics.

The transport properties of transition metal atoms interfered alpha-graphyne nanoribbon systems are investigated by first-principles calculations combined with the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green’s method. In all, five types of configurations are considered. We find that intervention of three Cr atom in alpha-graphyne nanoribbon systems decreases the conductivity of the system. Further study show that the magnetic direction of the electrode infulence the spin filtering effect greatly, while the ralative magnetic direction of the three transition Cr atoms have little effect on the transport properties. At finite bias window, negative differential resistance happens. Proper analysis are given to explain the spin filtering phenonmenon and the different transport properties via transmission coefficient and projected density of states.

Exploring two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic materials with intrinsic Dirac half-metallicity is crucial for the development of next-generation spintronic devices. Based on first-principles calculations, here we propose a simple valence electron-counting rule...
