In the framework of density functional theory (DFT), the structural and magnetic properties of FeN mono nitride have been investigated using the all electrons augmented spherical wave method (ASW) with a generalized gradient GGA functional…
Motivated by the ongoing interest in nitrides as materials for spintronics applications we have studied effects of doping with magnetic transition-metal elements (T=Cr,Mn,Fe,Co and Ni) on the electronic properties of semiconducting scandium…
This study investigates Mn-Zn ferrites (nominal composition \ce{Mn_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe2O4}, MZF) substituted with tetravalent (\ce{Si^{4+}}), trivalent (\ce{Co^{3+}}), and divalent (\ce{Ca^{2+}}, \ce{Mg^{2+}}, \ce{Sn^{2+}}) ions. We…
Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that rocksalt MgN is a magnetic material at the verge of half-metallicity, with an electronic structure robust against strong correlations and spin-orbit interaction. Furthermore the…
We study energetic, magnetic, and electronic properties of diluted substitutional Mn-pairs on the reconstructed $(001)$ GaAs surfaces. The studies are based on first-principles calculations in the framework of the density functional theory.…
Recently, a first successful synthesis of the unknown bulk manganese monocarbide (MnC) has been reported. Suggested as a potential superhard material, the compound is found to crystallize in the zincblende (B3) structure. In the present…
Some new members of a Ruthenocuprate (2212) series have been synthesized by Mn substitution for Ru in Gd1.4Ce0.6Sr2RuCu2O10 . Characterisation by XRD phase analysis followed by Rietveld refinement has been carried out. IR spectroscopy…
We study the electronic and optical properties of strained single-layer SnC in the density functional theory (DFT) and tight-binding models. We extract the hopping parameters tight-binding Hamiltonian for monolayer SnC by considering the…

We investigate the electronic band structure of two of the rare-earth nitrides, DyN and SmN. Resistivity measurements imply that both materials have a semiconducting ground state, and both show resistivity anomalies coinciding with the…
The structural stability and electronic properties of the ternary intermetallic compounds NiSnM (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) and the closely related Heusler compounds Ni$_2$SnM are discussed using the results of ab initio pseudopotential total energy…
Manganese sulfide (MnS) is a p-type magnetic semiconductor whose physicochemical properties are sensitive to nanocrystal (NC) morphology, yet the thermodynamic driving forces governing morphology across MnS polymorphs remain poorly…
We use a density-functional-theory (DFT) approach with a modified Becke-Johnson exchange plus local density approximation (LDA) correlation potential (mBJLDA) [semi-local, orbital-independent, producing accurate semiconductor gaps. see F.…
Using density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation, we show that Si-based heterostructures with 1/4 layer $\delta$-doping of {\em interstitial} Mn (Mn$_{\mathrm int}$) are half-metallic. For Mn$_{\mathrm int}$…
Using first principles calculations as based on density functional theory, we propose a class of so far unexplored diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors and half-metals. Here, we study the electronic properties of recently synthesized $ 4d $…
The half-metallic half-Heusler alloy NiMnSb is a promising candidate for applications in spintronic devices due to its low magnetic damping and its rich anisotropies. Here we use ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements and calculations…
