Magnetic properties of AlN monolayer doped with group 1A or 2A nonmagnetic element: First-principles study

The electronic structure, magnetic properties, and mechanism of magnetization in two-dimensional(2D) aluminum nitride(AlN) monolayer doped with nonmagnetic elements of group 1A(Li, Na, K) or group 2A(Be, Mg, Ca) were systematically investigated using first-principles studies. Numerical results reveal that the total magnetic moments produced by group 1A and group 2A nonmagnetic doping are 2.0μB and 1.0μB per supercell, respectively. The local magnetic moments of the three N atoms around the doping atom are the primary moment contributors for all these doped AlN monolayers. The p orbital of the dopant atom contributes little to the total magnetic moment, but it influences adjacent atoms significantly, changing their density of states distribution, which results in hybridization among the p orbitals of the three closest N atoms, giving rise to magnetism. Moreover, the doped AlN monolayer, having half-metal characteristics,is a likely candidate for spintronic applications. When two group 1A or group 2A atoms are inserted, their moments are long-range ferromagnetically coupled. Remarkably, the energy of formation shows that, if the monolayer has been grown under N-rich conditions, substitution of a group 2A atom at an Al site is easier than substitution of a group 1A atom.     

Electronic and optical properties of V doped AlN nanosheet: DFT calculations

Electronic and optical properties of pure and V-doped AlN nanosheet have been investigated using density functional theory, and the dielectric tensor is calculated using the random phase approximation (RPA). The results of structural calculations show that the V atoms tend to replace instead of aluminum atoms with the lowest formation energy. In addition, study of the electronic properties shows that pure AlN nanosheet is a p-type semiconductor that by increasing one V atom, it possesses the metallic properties and magnetic moment becomes Zero. Moreover, by replacing two V atoms, the half-metallic behavior with 100% spin polarization can be found, and each supercell gains a net magnetic moment of 3.99 µ_B. Optical properties like the dielectric function, the energy loss function, the absorption coefficients, the refractive index are calculated for both parallel and perpendicular electric field polarizations, and the results show that the optical spectra are anisotropic.     

Large magnetoresistance and perfect spin filter effect in Fe doped SnS2 half-metallic monolayers: A first principles study

In this work, the spin-resolved transport properties of the Fe doped SnS₂ monolayer devices have been investigated. The results show that the doping systems have the transport properties of negative differential resistance, large magnetoresistance effect and near 100% spin polarization effect when the magnetization directions of two electrodes are in parallel. Moreover, the mechanisms for the properties also have been discussed. The original reason of these results could be due to the half-metallic of the doping system. Our results imply that Fe doped SnS₂ monolayer is a promising candidate for the future spintronic devices.     

Effect of Cr implantation on structural and optical properties of AlN thin films

Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) grown AlN thin layer on sapphire substrates have been implanted with Cr⁺ ions for various dose from 10¹³ to 10¹⁵ cm⁻². The analyses were carried out by an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, a spectrophotometer and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) for structural and optical analyses. E₂(high) and A₁(LO) Raman modes of AlN layer have been observed and analyzed. The behavior of Raman shift and the variation in intensity and in peak width of Raman modes as a function of ions flux are explained on the basis of chromium substituting aluminum atom and implantation-induced lattice damage. Both Raman and X-ray analyses reveal that the incorporation of chromium atoms increases in the host lattice with the increasing of Cr ions fluence. The band gap energy was determined by using transmission spectra. It was found that the band gap energy decreases as the ion dose increases. The band gap of the unimplanted AlN is 6.02 eV and it decreases down to 5.92 eV for the Cr⁺-implanted AlN with a ion dose of 1×10¹⁵ cm⁻². Optical properties such as optical constants of the samples were examined by using a spectroscopic ellipsometer. It was observed that the refractive index (n) decreases with the increasing of ion dose.     

Electronic and structural properties of N-vacancy in AlN nanowires: A first-principles study

The stability and electronic structures of AlN nanowires with and without N-vacancy are investigated using firstprinciples calculations.We find that there is an inverse correlation between formation energy and diameter in ideal AlN nanowires.After calculating the formation energies of N-vacancy at different sites in AlN nanowires with different diameters,we find that the N-vacancy prefers to stay at the surface of the nanowires and it is easier to fabricate them under Al-rich conditions.Through studying the electronic properties of AlN nanowires with N-vacancies,we further find that there are two isolated bands in the deep part of the band gap,one of them is fully occupied and the other is half occupied.The charge density indicates that the half-fully occupied band arises from the Al at the surface,and this atom becomes an active centre.
