研究目的
To investigate theoretically the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of calcium sulfide (CaS) doped with chromium (Cr) impurity, in order to conduct a new search for dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) suitable for different applications in electronics and spintronics.
研究成果
The study predicts that Cr-doped CaS exhibits half-metallic ferromagnetic behavior with 100% spin polarization at the Fermi level, making it a promising material for spintronics applications. The chromium atom is identified as the primary source of the magnetic moment in these compounds. Experimental validation is recommended to confirm these theoretical findings.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and requires experimental confirmation. The computational methods, while advanced, may have limitations in accurately predicting all physical properties without empirical validation.
