Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Ni-Doped Zinc-Blende ZnO: A First-Principles Study

The electronic structure, band structure, density of state, and magnetic properties of Ni-doped zinc-blende (ZB) ZnO are studied by using the first-principles method based on the spin-polarized density-functional theory. The calculated results show that Ni atoms can induce a stable ferromagnetic (FM...
