近年来,二维GaS由于其优异的性质引起了科研人员的关注.基于密度泛函理论计算了过渡金属元素X(X=Mo, Tc, Ru)掺杂单层二维GaS的电子结构、磁性性质及光学性质.计算结果表明：单层GaS材料为间接带隙的非磁性半导体,在对S位点进行替位式掺杂后,Ga-rich和S-rich条件的形成能均为正数,导致过渡金属元素Mo、Tc和Ru不能自发地进入进入单层GaS材料中.所有掺杂体系都引入了杂质能级,杂质能级主要由掺杂原子的4d轨道贡献.掺杂后所有体系的带隙都有所减小,上自旋和下自旋的能带结构不再对称,使得Mo掺杂体系呈现半金属铁磁性,Tc和Ru掺杂体系呈磁性半导体特性,Mo、Tc和Ru掺杂后的总磁矩分别为4μ_B, 3μ_B和2μ_B,磁矩主要由掺杂原子的局域磁矩产生.掺杂后单层GaS的静介电常数得到提高,吸收谱出现红移,在可见光区和近红外区的吸收系数变大,对可见光的利用率增强.

Coexistence of ferro- and antiferromagnetism in itinerant electron systems

Condition for the coexistence of ferro- and antiferromagnetism is obtained in the itinerant electron model by taking into account the effect of spin fluctuations. It is found that the canted antiferromagnetism can appear, but the ferrimagnetism does not appear in isotropic itinerant electron systems. Expressions for parallel and perpendicular susceptibilities in the states of antiferro-, ferro- and canted antiferromagnetism are derived. Possible magnetic phase diagrams, i.e. various combinations of the magnetic transition among simple ferromagnetism, simple antiferromagnetism and two types of canted antiferromagnetism, where the uniform and staggered magnetizations are parallel and perpendicular to the easy direction and vice versa, are suggested for an itinerant electron system with the uniaxial anisotropy. It is also shown that the uniaxial anisotropy does not change the unstable situation of ferrimagnetism. The comparison with the observed results is discussed.

Instability of magnetism and conductivity in CMR manganites: role of Mn-site doping and thermal cycling

The magnetic and transport properties of the manganites with the perovskite structure are mainly characterized by a competition between ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, and between a metallic like and an insulating behavior. Charge and orbital ordering, and phase separation play a prominent role in the appearance of such properties, since they can be modified in a spectacular manner by external factors, making the different physical properties metastable. There we describe two effects that deeply modify those properties, the doping of Mn sites and the thermal cycling under a magnetic field.The doping of Mn sites by various magnetic cations—Cr, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Ir—destroys charge/orbital-ordering and induces ferromagnetism and metallicity in the antiferromagnetic matrix of the manganites. The magnetic phase diagram of the systems Ln_1−xCa_xMnO₃ is considerably modified by such doping. The metastability of the magnetic states is explained in terms of models based on the electronic structure of the doping elements in connection with a possible valence fluctuation.The thermal cycling is also a spectacular effect, observed in chromium doped manganites. For instance, an increase of resistivity by several orders of magnitude can be observed by thermal cycling under a magnetic field, whereas no effect is obtained in the corresponding undoped material. This behavior is interpreted in terms of strains induced charge localization, at the interface between ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic domains in the antiferromagnetic matrix.

Half-metallic ferromagnetism in Cu-doped zinc-blende ZnO from first principles study

Electronic structures and magnetism of Cu-doped zinc-blende ZnO have been investigated by the first-principle method based on density functional theory (DFT). The results show that Cu can induce stable ferromagnetic ground state. The magnetic moment of supercell including single Cu atom is 1.0 μ_B. Electronic structure shows that Cu-doped zinc-blende ZnO is a p-type half-metallic ferromagnet. The half-metal property is mainly attribute to the crystal field splitting of Cu 3d orbital, and the ferromagnetism is dominated by the hole-mediated double exchange mechanism. Therefore, Cu-doped zinc-blende ZnO should be useful in semiconductor spintronics and other applications.     

Electronic structure and magnetism of Fe-doped SiC nanotubes

The electronic structure and magnetic properties of Fe-doped SiC nanotubes are investigated by using the first-principles method based on density functional theory(DFT) in the local spin density approximation(LSDA).The calculation results indicate that the SiC nanotube of Fe substitution for C exhibits antiferromagnetism while ferromagnetism features prominently when Fe substitutes Si.This is a kind of half-metal magnetic material.The formation energy calculation results show that the formation energy of ferromagnetic structure is 3.2 eV lower than that of antiferromagnetic structure.Fe atoms are more likely to replace Si atoms.Spin-orbit coupling induces electron spin polarization in the ground state.Also,the doping Fe atoms make relaxation towards the outside of the tube to some extent and larger geometric distortion occurs when Fe substitutes C,but the whole geometric structure of SiC nanotubes is not damaged due to the doping.It is revealed in the calculation of energy band structure and density of states that more dispersed distribution of energy levels is produced near the Fermi level.For Fe substitution for Si,obviously there are spin-split and intense p-d hybrid effects by Si 3p electron spins and Fe 3d electron spins localized at the exchanging interactions between magnetic transitional metal(TM) impurities.Spin electronic density results indicate that system magnetic moments are mainly generated by the unpaired 3d electrons of Fe atoms.All these results show that the transition metal doping SiC nanotube could be a potential route to fabricating the promising magnetic materials.     

The role of 3d electrons in the appearance of ferromagnetism in the antiferromagnetic Ru2MnGe Heusler compound: a magnetic Compton scattering study

The antiferromagnetism in Ru(2)MnGe can be suppressed by the substitution of V by Mn and ferromagnetism appears. Synchrotron-based magnetic Compton scattering experiments are used in order to investigates the role of 3d electrons in the indirect/direct exchange interactions for the appearance of ferromagnetism. A small spin moment for the itinerant electron part on the magnetic Compton profile indicates that the metallic ferromagnet Ru(2)Mn(0.5)V(0.5)Ge has a weak indirect exchange interaction between the d-like and sp-like (itinerant) electrons. This suggests that the appearance of ferromagnetism is caused by the enhancement of the direct exchange interactions between d-d electrons in the Ru(2)MnGe Heusler compound. These findings indicate that the indirect exchange interaction between itinerant electrons and localized electrons is a significant key point for the appearance of ferromagnetism in this system.
