Room temperature ferromagnetism of Mn+-implanted Si nanowires (NWs) has been
discovered. The saturation magnetization was found to increase with the Mn concentration …

By using ab initio electronic structure calculations within density functional theory, we study
the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of Si doped with a transition metal …

This volume provides a detailed treatment of half-metallic materials and their properties from
both an experimental and theoretical point of view. It discusses the methods used to …

This review focuses on current research on the topic of ion beam based approaches for the
fabrication of magnetic semiconductors. Among them, classic semiconductors such as Si …

First principles electronic structure calculations on a free CrSi 12 cluster, a (CrSi 12) 2 dimer,
and CrSi 12 clusters supported on Si (111) surfaces have been carried out within a gradient …

Spin filtering is a fundamental operation in spintronics, enabling the generation and
detection of spin-polarized carriers. Here, we proposed and theoretically demonstrated that …

First-principles study on the energetic stability, electronic structure, and magnetic coupling in
Mn-doped silicon with various configurations has been performed systematically. The results …

Magnetic skyrmion materials have the great advantage of a robust topological magnetic
structure, which makes them stable against the superparamagnetic effect and therefore a …

Single crystals of MgO with (100),(110) and (111) orientations were implanted with 64 keV
Fe ions at a dose of 1.9× 1017 ions/cm2 by using metal-vapor vacuum arc ion source …

The structure and the electrical and magnetic properties of Mn-implanted Si, which exhibits
ferromagnetic ordering at room temperature, are studied. Single-crystal n-and p-type Si …
