Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we investigated systematically the electronic structures and magnetic properties of Ti-doped ZnO. The results indicate that Ti doped ZnO prefers the ferromagnetic ground state and shows a metallic behavior. We found that Ti-doped ZnO is a weak ferromagnet and FM exchange interaction is short-ranged. In addition, it has been found that Ti atoms have a tendency of cluster together around O atoms.

The interatomic exchange interactions and the electronic structure of Co-doped ZnO with and without oxygen vacancy have been investigated by the first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. It is found that the oxygen vacancy can strengthen the ferromagnetic exchange interaction between Co atoms and might be available for carrier mediation. The oxygen vacancy near to the Co atoms is more favorable for the ferromagnetic ground state.

In this paper, the electronic structures and magnetic properties of the Cu -doped ZnO monolayer are investigated by means of first-principles methods based on density functional theory. Numerical results show that the Cu dopant can induce the half-metallic ferromagnets in the ZnO monolayer due to the strong p–d coupling. In addition, the semiconductor band gap is also decreased when Zn atom is substituted by Cu atom in the ZnO monolayer. Moreover, the formation energy calculations also indicate that it is energy favorable and relatively easier to incorporate Cu atom into the ZnO monolayer under Zn -rich experimental conditions.

Using the first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT), we investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of (100) surface of inverse Heusler alloy Mn2CoSb with five different terminations. Our work reveals that the surface Mn atom moves to vacuum while surface Co atom moves to slab. Moreover, duo to the reason that the surface atom lost half of the nearest atoms with respect to the bulk phase, resulting in the decrease of hybridization, the atom-resolved spin magnetic moments of surface atoms are enhanced. Further investigation on DOS and PDOS showed that half-metallicity was preserved only in SbSb-termination while was destroyed in MnCo-, MnSb-, MnMn-, and CoCo-termination due to the appearance of surface states.

The structural stability of MgCe under high pressures has been investigated by using the first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory within the local density approximation (LDA). The obtained results predict that MgCe in the Ba structure is predicted to be the most stable structure corresponding to the ground state, because of lowest total energy. MgCe undergoes a pressure-induced phase transition from the Ba structure to B32 structure at 36 GPa. And no further transition is found up to 120 GPa. In addition, the electronic structures of four structures of MgCe are also calculated and discussed.

We present first-principles calculations of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Gd-doped [Formula: see text] based on the density functional theory within [Formula: see text] schemes. It is found that Gd atom favors substituting for Al site. Compared with undoped [Formula: see text], the Gd-doped [Formula: see text] has become an indirect band gap semiconductor of reduced band gap. The magnetic moment [Formula: see text] per molecule mainly comes from Gd ion with little contribution from the Ga, Al and N atoms. It is confirmed that the ferromagnetic configuration is stable for [Formula: see text]. It is found also that there is hybridization between the forbital of the Gd atom and the [Formula: see text] orbital of the N atom.

Abstract Based on the first principles of density functional theory, the adsorption of nonmetallic atoms on the surface of defective blue phosphorene was investigated. The results show that the most stable sites of different nonmetallic atoms on the defect blue phosphorene are different. The nonmetal (B, C, N, O) atoms were adsorbed on SV and SW defects blue phosphorene respectively. It was observed that B, N adsorbed SV defect blue phosphorene systems exhibited semiconducting behavior, whereas O adsorbed SV defect blue phosphorene system exhibited metallic behavior, and C adsorbed SV defect blue phosphorene system exhibited magnetic semiconducting behavior. For SW defect blue phosphorene, the results show that B, N, adsorbed SW defect blue phosphorene showed magnetic semiconductor behavior, while C, O adsorbed SW defect blue phosphorene showed semiconductor behavior.
