Effect of content and spin state of iron on electronic properties and floatability of iron-bearing sphalerite: A DFT+U study

Iron is an impurity widely occurred in sphalerite, and its effect on sphalerite flotation is complex. In this work, the effects of iron content and spin state on electronic properties and floatability of iron-bearing sphalerite are comprehensively studied using density functional theory Hubbard U (D...
