<p>Electronic and magnetic properties of La<sub>4</sub>Ba<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>10</sub> had been studied by first-principles density functional theory (DFT). Based on the DFT calculation La<sub>4</sub>Ba<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>10</sub> is found to have a ferromagnetic (FM) ground state. The material undergo charge-transfer type insulator to Mott-Hubbard type insulator transition which happens due to strong correlation in La-4f and Cu-3d states. Our results show that the 3d electrons of Cu hybridize strongly with O-2p states near the Fermi level giving rise to the insulating state of La<sub>4</sub>Ba<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>10</sub>. Our study suggests that the enhanced magnetic moment is a result of itinerant exchange rather than the exchange interaction involving individual ions of Cu atoms. The total magnetic moment calculated in the present studies is 2 μ<sub>B</sub> per unit cell for La<sub>4</sub>Ba<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>10</sub>.</p><p>Journal of Nepal Physical Society Vol.3(1) 2015: 89-96</p>

First-principles study based on density functional theory has been employed to investigate width-dependent structural stability and magnetic properties of monolayer zigzag MoS2 nanoribbons (ZZ-MoS2 NRs). The width N = 4–6 (the numbers of zigzag Mo–S chains along the ribbon length) are considered. The results show that all studied ZZ-MoS2 NRs are less stable than two-dimensional MoS2 monolayer, exhibiting that a broader width ribbon behaves better structural stability and an inversely proportional relationship between the structural stability (or the ribbon with) and boundary S–Mo interaction. Electronic states imply that all ZZ-MoS2 NRs exhibit magnetic properties, regardless of their widths. Total magnetic moment increases with the increasing width N, which is mainly ascribed to the decreasing S–Mo interaction of the two zigzag edges. In order to confirm this reason, a uniaxial tension strain is applied to ZZ-MoS2 NRs. It has been found that, with the increasing tension strain, the bond length of boundary S–Mo increases, at the same time, the magnetic moment increases also. Our results suggest the rational applications of ZZ-MoS2 NRs in nanoelectronics and spintronics.

AbstractMn adsorption on the GaAs(111)–(1×1)B surface electronic and magnetic properties are investigated using first principles total energy calculations within the periodic spin polarized density functional theory. Results show that one Mn atom adsorption on top of the surface drives to an interstitial Mn atom. The interstitial atom is bonded to three first monolayer As atoms forming a chain-like structure. This stable structure has a ferromagnetic behavior with a Mn magnetic moment of ∼ 3.98 μ

Using density functional theory combined LSDA+U method, the structural, electronic and magnetic behaviors of ytterbium implanted in wurtzite AlN were investigated. Low formation energy shows that Yb atom favors to substitute for Al site and to confirm this stability, the adsorption energy has been calculated. It is found that Al[Formula: see text]Yb[Formula: see text]N possesses a semiconductor behavior. The magnetic moment 0.9891 [Formula: see text] per molecule principally comes from Yb ion with small contribution from the Al and N atoms. We predict that Yb ions order ferromagnetically in AlN. The hybridization between the f orbital of the Yb atom and the p orbital of the N atom is also observed. We see that AlN:Yb will be among the good candidates for spintronic applications.
