Abstract: C1.00132 : First principles calculations of magnetic properties of Gd-doped ZnSiN
Author:
Diluted metal-doped chalcopyrite compounds have recently
attracted a great attention due to some experimental
confirmations on their ability to achieve high temperature
ferromagnetism. Such a material would likely play a role in
building future spintronic devices. First principles calculations
of the magnetic properties of Gd-doped ZnSiN$_2$, a semiconductor
chalcopyrite, have been performed using the density functional
theory within generalized gradient approximation. Our results
show, independent of the substitutional sites, the lowest energy
structure is ferromagnetic.
