The ferromagnetic tVS2/hVS2 heterostructure is the ground state under normal conditions or biaxial strains. The tVS2/hVS2 heterostructure can be switched from a gapless semiconductor to a metal or a half-metal under biaxial or uniaxial strains.

To understand sulfide inclusions in the steel industry, the structures, stabilities, electronic and magnetic properties of the Mn[Formula: see text]S and Mn[Formula: see text]S2 (n=1–6) clusters are investigated by using first-principles. The results show that the S atoms prefer to occupy the outside surface center of the Mn[Formula: see text] (n = 3–6) clusters. Chiral isomers are occurred to the Mn5S2 isomers. The Mn2S, Mn2S2 clusters are more stable than their neighbors. However, the MnS, S2, and Mn5I2 clusters possess higher dynamic stability than their neighbors by the HOMO–LUMO gaps. The Mn[Formula: see text]S and Mn[Formula: see text]S2 (n = 1–6) clusters prefer to spontaneous generation by Gibbs free energy. A few 4s orbital electrons of Mn atoms transferred to the S atoms by Mülliken population analysis. For the other Mn[Formula: see text]S (n = 1–6) clusters, the spin density (17.256) of the ground-state Mn6S clusters is the largest. For the Mn[Formula: see text]S2 (n = 1–6) clusters, the total spin (9.604) of the ground-state Mn2S2 cluster is the largest.

Using first-principle calculations based on density functional theory, we investigate the strain and different edge terminations modulated electronic and magnetic properties of armchair AlN/SiC nanoribbons. The results show that the edge terminations Fe, Co, Cl can decrease or even eliminate the edge deformation of AlN/SiC nanoribbon. The magnetism of the nanoribbons is greatly adjusted by magnetic atoms Fe and Co, but not by Cl atoms. Apart from the nanoribbon with Cl terminations, the magnetism of the residual nanoribbons can be adjusted by increasing the compressed or stretched strain. The magnetic semiconductor nanoribbon with Co terminations becomes a magnetic half-metal system and then becomes a magnetic metal system, with the increase of the compressed strain. The magnetism of the nanoribbon with dangling bonds is attributed to the SiC edge and its nearest-neighbour C atoms, whereas the magnetism of the nanoribbon with Fe (or Co) terminations is mainly contributed by Fe (or Co) terminations.
