Abstract
In this paper, the influence of co-doping of two transition metals (Mn, Tc) on the magnetic and optical properties of HfS2 was investigated through first-principles calculations. The magnetic properties of the (Mn, Tc) co-doped HfS2 system are attributed to a hybridization between Mn: 3d, Tc: 4d, and the adjacent S: 3p orbitals. Furthermore, ferromagnetism stability increases significantly under tensile strain, but decreases under compressive strain until it switches to a ferrimagnetic state. In addition, tensile strain increases the Curie temperature, while compressive strain decreases the Curie temperature. Subsequently, we examine the optical properties and find that the infrared absorption coefficient and reflectivity are enhanced under doping and biaxial compression strain conditions. In conclusion, (Mn, Tc) co-doped HfS2 dilute magnetic semiconductor is expected to be a key material in the next generation of Spintronic devices and optoelectronic devices.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
