The first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) were performed to study the electronic structures and magnetic properties of Mo doped GaSb systematically in order to explore a semiconductor with higher Curie temperature (TC) and intrinsic ferromagnetism. Considering the strong Coulomb interaction among Mo-4d electrons, parameter U = 2eV is used to improve the description of Mo-4d electrons. The studied results indicated that both MoGa and MoSb substitutions can induce 3 total magnetic moment in the system. The magnetic interactions among MoGas and MoSbs are all ferromagnetic (FM) in our considered configurations. The FM coupling mechanisms are discussed in this paper. This work would offer a possible method toward high TC ferromagnetism for the GaSb based materials.

Mo掺杂GaSb的磁性的第一性原理计算研究
进行了基于密度泛函理论(DFT)的第一性原理计算,系统地研究了Mo掺杂的GaSb的电子结构和磁性,以探索具有更高居里温度(T C)和固有铁磁性的半导体。考虑到Mo-4 d电子之间很强的库仑相互作用,参数U = 2eV用于改进Mo-4 d电子的描述。研究结果表明,Mo Ga和Mo Sb的取代均可诱导3系统中的总磁矩。在我们考虑的配置中,Mo Ga和Mo Sb之间的磁性相互作用都是铁磁(FM)。本文讨论了FM耦合机制。这项工作将为GaSb基材料提供一种实现高T C铁磁性的方法。
