Abstract
We purposed to analyze the theoretical ab initio study of ferromagnetism and to estimate Curie temperature of Co2+ and Ni2+ 3d transition metal (TM) ions doped Zn1-x TM x Se compounds for 12.5 % and 6.25 % concentrations of impurity TM(Co, Ni) atoms. The calculations are carried out using the norm-conserving Fritz-Haber-Institute ionic pseudopotentials based on density functional theory within the local spin density approximation and Hubbard U (U(Znd)=4.5 eV; U(Sep)=3.8 eV) corrections. The analysis of the total and partial electron density of states shows the half-metallic ferromagnetic behavior with a half-metallic bandgap. The theoretically obtained total magnetic moments of TM(Co, Ni) doped Zn1-x TM x Se systems are equal to 3 μB and 4 μB, correspondingly.
