摘要: The geometrical structures of Cd0.75TM0.25Se (TM = Ti, V, Cr and Mn) are optimized, and then their electric and magnetic properties are investigated by performing first-principles calculations within the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange--correlation function based on density functional theory. Cd0.75TM0.25Se (TM = Ti and V) are found to have high spin-polarization near 100% at the Fermi level. Cd0.75TM0.25Se (TM = Cr and Mn) are half-metallic ferromagnets whose spin-polarization at the Fermi level is absolutely +100%. The supercell magnetic moments of Cd0.75Cr0.25Se and Cd0.75Mn0.25Se are 4.00 and 5.00~μB, which arise mainly from Cr-ions and Mn-ions, respectively. The half-metallicity of Cd0.75Cr0.25Se is more stable than that of Cd0.75Mn0.25Se. The electronic structures of Cr-ions and Mn-ions are Cr eg2t2g2↑ and Mn eg2t2g3↑, respectively.
