Abstract We report structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of SrCoO3 in Pm3̅m and P4/mbm space groups, which are calculated by using generalized gradient approximation corrected with on-site Coulomb repulsion U and exchange energies J. The cubic lattice parameter a and local magnetic moments of Co (μCo) are optimized by varying U at Co 3d site. Employing ultrasoft pseudopotential, the values of U = 8 eV and J = 0.75 eV are the best choice for Pm3̅m space group. We found the value of μCo = 2.56 μB, which is consistent with the previous results. It was also found that Co 3d, hybridized with O 2p, is the main contributor to ferromagnetic metallic properties. Besides, norm-conserving pseudopotential promotes a, which is in good agreement with experimental result. However, it is not suitable for P4/mbm space group. By using ultrasoft pseudopotential, the value of U = 3 eV (J = 0.75) is the most suitable for P4/mbm group. Ferromagnetic metallic properties, Jahn-Teller distortion, and reasonable lattice parameters have been obtained. This study shows that U has significant contribution to the calculated properties and also points out that P4/mbm space group with US-PP is suitable to describe experimental results.

We report first-principles investigation on structural, electronic and magnetic properties of 3d transition metal element-doped rock-salt calcium selenide Ca[Formula: see text]TMxSe (TM = V, Cr and Mn) at concentrations [Formula: see text] = 0.0625, 0.125 and 0.25. We performed the calculations in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT) using the full-potential linearized augmented plane waves plus local orbitals (FP-LAPW+lo) method within the Wu–Cohen generalized gradient approximation (WC-GGA) for the structural optimization and the Tran–Blaha modified Becke–Johnson (TBmBJ) potential for the electronic and the magnetic properties. The computed spin-polarized band structures and densities of states show that Ca[Formula: see text]CrxSe compounds at all studied concentrations are half-metallic ferromagnets with a complete spin polarization of 100% at Fermi-level while the Ca[Formula: see text]VxSe and Ca[Formula: see text]MnxSe are ferromagnetic semiconductors. The total magnetic moments for Ca[Formula: see text]VxSe, Ca[Formula: see text]CrxSe, and Ca[Formula: see text]MnxSe show the integer values of 3[Formula: see text][Formula: see text], 4[Formula: see text][Formula: see text], and 5[Formula: see text][Formula: see text], respectively, with a major contribution of transition metal elements (TM) in the total magnetization. Also, we reported the calculated exchange constants [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and the band edge spin splitting of the valence ([Formula: see text]) and conduction ([Formula: see text]) bands. The ferromagnetism of these compounds is due to the super-exchange and the double-exchange mechanisms in addition to the strong p–d exchange interaction. Therefore, the predicted results indicate that the diluted Ca[Formula: see text]TMxSe (TM = V, Cr, Mn) compounds are suitable candidates for a possible application in the field of spintronic technology.

The geometric structures, stabilities, electronic and magnetic properties of silicon doped silver clusters AgnSi (n = 1 - 9) have been systematically investigated by using meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) exchange correlation Tao-Perdew-Staroverov-Scuseria (TPSS) functional. Due to the sp3 hybridization, the lowest energy structures of doped clusters favour the threedimensional structure. The silicon atom prefers to be located at the surface of the host silver clusters. The isomers that correspond to high coordination numbers of the Si-Ag bonds are found to be more stable. By analyzing the relative stabilities, the results show that the quadrangular bipyramid Ag4Si structure is the most stable geometry for the AgnSi clusters. Meanwhile, the fragmentation energies, second-order difference of energies, difference of highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO gaps), and total magnetic moments exhibit pronounced even-odd alternations. The largest hardness difference (2:24 eV) exists between the clusters Ag4Si and Ag5, which illustrates that the corresponding Ag4Si cluster has dramatically enhanced chemical stability.

Trioxides of rubidium, strontium, and ruthenium belong to the family of alkali and alkaline earth ruthenates. SrRuO3 crystallizes in various symmetry classes—orthorhombic, tetragonal, or cubic—whereas RbRuO3 is perovskite (cubic) structured and crystallizes only in the cubic space group Pm3¯¯¯m(No. 221). In this study, we investigated the structural stability as well as the electronic and magnetic properties of two cubic perovskites SrRuO3 and RbRuO3. We established the corresponding lattice parameters, magnetic moments, density of states (DOS), and band structures using ab‑initio density‑functional theory (DFT). Both compounds exhibited a metallic ferromagnetic ground state with lattice parameter values between 3.83 and 3.96 Å; RbRuO3 had magnetic moments between 0.29 and 0.34 µBwhereas SrRuO3 had magnetic moments between 1.33 and 1.66 µB. This study paves way for further RbRuO3 research.

First-principle calculations have been performed to study the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of BaUO3 in cubic perovskite. The lattice parameter, bulk modulus, bond length, band structures, density of states, and magnetic moments are evaluated using Full Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) method in Wien2k-code with GGA as exchange and correlation functional and mBJ functional is used to improve the results along with GGA+U to review magnetic properties. It is found that our calculated structural parameters are in good agreement with experimental results and other work at ambient pressure. The density of states results for spin up and spin down channels show that BaUO3 is an half ferromagnetic material, so we may use this material to make high-performance spintronics devices.

In this paper, the KKR (Korringa, Kohn, and Rostoker) is presented with coherent potential approximation methods which is used to investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of allotropic graphite forms of carbon and nickel-doped graphite. The density of states (DOS), band structure, total energy, and the magnetic moments of atoms are computed. The crystallographic structure optimization is carried out by evaluating the total energy as a function of unit lattice parameters. The DOS analysis reveals a partially metallic behavior of the compound. The magnetism vs the Ni-doping content in C1−xNix is also investigated by computing moments induced on atoms; the sensitivity of the magnetism to Ni-doping is also analyzed.

AbstractIn this paper, we have studied the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the cubic perovskite system Mn4N using the first principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The obtained data from DFT calculations are used as input data in Monte Carlo simulation with a mixed spin-5/2 and 1 Ising model to calculate the magnetic properties of this compound, such as the total, partial thermal magnetization, and the critical temperatures (TC). The obtained results show that Mn4N has a ferrimagnetic structure with two different sites of Mn in the lattice and presents a metallic behavior. The obtained TC is in good agreement with experimental results.

AbstractThe electronic structure and magnetic properties of Mn doped zinc blende cadmium sulfide Cd1-xMnxS (x = 6.25 %) have been studied using spin-polarized density functional theory within the framework of Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA), its further corrections including Hubbard U interactions (GGA + U) and a model for exchange and correlation potential Tran Blaha modified Becke-Johnson (TB-mBJ). Ferromagnetic interactions have been observed between Mn atoms via S atom due to strong p-d hybridization. The magnetic moments on Mn and its neighboring atoms have also been studied in detail using different charge analysis techniques. It has been observed that p-d hybridization reduced the value of local magnetic moment of Mn in comparison to its free space charge value and produced small local magnetic moments on the nonmagnetic S and Cd host sites. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy in [1 0 0] and [1 1 1] directions as well as exchange splitting parameters Noα and Noβ have been analyzed to confirm that ferromagnetism exists. We conclude that the ferromagnetic phase in Mn-doped CdS is not stable in “near” configuration but it is stable for “far” configuration. Mn doped CdS is a p-type semiconductor and the d-states at the top of the valence band edge give a very useful material for photoluminescence and magneto-optical devices.
