We use first-principles calculations to investigate the mechanism of the effect of native defects on the spin polarization and exchange coupling interaction in the V 3 O 4 semimetal material. Our results reveal that, in contrast to other neutral defects, V vacancy defects in V 3 O 4 at A/B sites are in favor of higher spin polarization degrees and lower defect formation energies. Compared to ideal V 3 O 4 , the V vacancy defects at A/B sites cause slightly lower spin polarization degrees but much higher exchange coupling interactions. Our results suggest an effective route to mediate the spin polarization and exchange coupling by defect engineering, which promotes the applications of the V 3 O 4 semimetal material in spintronics.
The mechanism of the effect of (Y, Yb) co-doping on spin polarization in monolayer MoS2 was investigated via first-principles calculations. The theoretical results reveal that Yb mono-doped monolayer MoS2 favors...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
