研究目的
Investigating the structural parameters, electronic structures, and half-metallic ferromagnetic behavior of chromium (Cr)-doped barium selenide (BaSe) at various concentrations.
研究成果
The Ba1 ? xCrxSe compounds exhibit half-metallic ferromagnetic behavior with 100% spin polarization and a total magnetic moment per Cr atom of 4 μB, making them promising candidates for spintronics applications. The study provides a foundation for future experimental and theoretical research on these materials.
研究不足
The study's predictions are valid only for ordered stoichiometric structures of Ba1 ? xCrxSe compounds. Real supercells may have defects, which were not considered. The GGA approach underestimates the band gap, which may affect the accuracy of electronic structure predictions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed first-principle methods based on spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation of Wu and Cohen (GGA-WC) for exchange and correlation potential. The full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method was used within the DFT framework.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study focused on Ba1 ? xCrxSe at concentrations x = 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75. The structural parameters, electronic structures, and magnetic properties were calculated for these concentrations.
