Abstract

With the aim of improving and investigating magnetocaloric insights for spintronic applications, we investigated the electronic structure of Cr-doped AlSb compounds via first-principles calculations using the KKR-CPA-DFT method. Here, we investigated the stability of alloy materials as a function of magnetic contamination. A stable semimetallic ferromagnetic phase can be obtained by introducing the Cr element into AlSb, which is inherent in nonmagnetic semiconductors. The total magnetic moment of the doped material changes from 0.1167 μB to 0.716 μB for 4% and 25% Cr, respectively. Curie temperature changed to 740 K at 25% Cr concentration. KEY WORDS: Magnetic materials, Semiconductor, Alloys, Impurities Bull. Chem. Soc. Ethiop. 2024, 38(2), 297-304. DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/bcse.v38i2.2

通过第一原理计算探索铬掺杂对 AlSb DMS 化合物的电子特性、半金属性和铁磁性的影响

为了提高和研究自旋电子应用的磁致性洞察力，我们采用 KKR-CPA-DFT 方法，通过第一原理计算研究了掺杂铬的 AlSb 化合物的电子结构。在此，我们研究了合金材料的稳定性与磁污染的函数关系。通过在 AlSb 中引入 Cr 元素，可以获得稳定的半金属铁磁相，而这是非磁性半导体所固有的。掺杂 4% 和 25% Cr 的材料的总磁矩分别从 0.1167 μB 变为 0.716 μB。当铬浓度为 25% 时，居里温度变为 740 K。关键词：磁性材料半导体合金杂质 Bull.Chem.Soc.2024, 38(2), 297-304.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
