摘要:

研究了实验合成的直径为2 nm的Mn掺杂CdTe纳米晶的电磁性质。使用密度泛函理论,我们考虑两种掺杂情况:含有一个或两个Mn杂质的NC。虽然Mn d峰在点中携带5个向上电子,但Mn位上的局部磁矩为4.65 μ_B。由于Mn原子的3d电子与主体化合物的s-和p-型价态之间的sp-d杂化,它小于5 μ_B。sp-d杂化在Mn最近邻Te位点上诱导小的磁矩,与影响未掺杂点的p型价态的Mn磁矩反平行,如通常用于动力学介导的交换磁耦合。此外,我们还计算了代表sp-d交换相互作用的参数。当Mn杂质占据块状纳米碳中心位置时,电导N 0 α和价态N 0 β接近实验体值,在靠近表面处趋于零。这种行为进一步解释了价带边缘状态的分析表明,对称性破缺分裂的状态,从而减少了交换。对于两个Mn原子在几个位置,价边状态显示出进一步偏离解释的基础上微扰处理。我们还计算了Mn自旋之间的d-d交换相互作用|Jdd|。最大的|Jdd|值也是锰原子上bulklike中心网站相比,在实验的d-d交换常数在散装镉0.95锰0.05碲,它是四倍小。

英文摘要:

We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of Mn-doped CdTe nanocrystals (NCs) with 2 nm in diameter which can be experimentally synthesized with Mn atoms inside. Using the density-functional theory, we consider two doping cases: NCs containing one or two Mn impurities. Although the Mn d peaks carry five up electrons in the dot, the local magnetic moment on the Mn site is 4.65 mu_B. It is smaller than 5 mu_B because of the sp-d hybridization between the localized 3d electrons of the Mn atoms and the s- and p-type valence states of the host compound. The sp-d hybridization induces small magnetic moments on the Mnnearest- neighbor Te sites, antiparallel to the Mn moment affecting the p-type valence states of the undoped dot, as usual for a kinetic-mediated exchange magnetic coupling. Furthermore, we calculate the parameters standing for the sp-d exchange interactions. Conduction N0αand valence N0βare close to the experimental bulk values when the Mn impurities occupy bulklike NCs' central positions, and they tend to zero close to the surface. This behavior is further explained by an analysis of valence-band-edge states showing that symmetry breaking splits the states and in consequence reduces the exchange. For two Mn atoms in several positions, the valence edge states show a further departure from an interpretation based in a perturbative treatment. We also calculate the d-d exchange interactions |Jdd| between Mn spins. The largest |Jdd| value is also for Mn atoms on bulklike central sites; in comparison with the experimental d-d exchange constant in bulk Cd0.95Mn0.05Te, it is four times smaller.
