Xingtao Jia, Minghui Qin, Wei Yang

摘要:

采用密度泛函理论计算了立方结构Zn 1-xCrxS的磁性和聚集趋势,结果表明:所有研究的构型都表现出基态半金属铁磁性(HMF),Cr杂质在能量上有利于平面团簇形成δ掺杂结构. Zn0.75Cr0.25S和Zn0.875Cr0.125S的单层δ掺杂结构的铁磁稳定能(Δ EAF)分别为0.551和0.561 eV/Cr-Cr对。Zn0.875Cr0.125S的半层δ掺杂结构和Zn0.75Cr0.25S的双层δ掺杂结构的Δ EAF分别为0.394和0.166 eV/Cr-Cr对。此外,我们的研究表明,立方ZnS/CrS异质结构,一个极端的情况下,δ掺杂结构,也显示出基态HMF。HMF的起源进行了讨论,使用一个简单的晶体场模型。最后,我们展望了Zn_(1-x)Cr_xS在自旋电子学方面的潜在应用。

英文摘要:

We investigated the magnetism and aggregation trends in cubic Zn1-xCrxS using the density-functional theory calculations.We demonstrate that all studied configurations show ground state half-metallic ferromagnetism (HMF); and Cr impurities are energetically favorable to planar cluster into delta-doping structures. The single-layer delta-doping structures of Zn0.75Cr0.25S and Zn0.875Cr0.125S show ferromagnetic stabilization energies (ΔE_AF) of 0.551 and 0.561 eV/Cr-Cr pair, respectively. The half-layer delta-doping structure of Zn0.875Cr0.125S and double-layer delta-doping structure of Zn0.75Cr0.25S show ΔE_AF of 0.394 and 0.166 eV/Cr-Cr pair, respectively. Furthermore, our studies indicate that the cubic ZnS/CrS heterostructure, one extreme situation of the delta-doping structure, also shows ground state HMF. The origin of HMF is discussed using a simple crystal field model. Finally, we anticipate the potential spintronics application of Zn1-xCrxS.
