Importance of bond exchange in MnC structural stability and half-metallic ferromagnetism: a comprehensive density functional benchmark study
Abdesalem Houari, Peter Bloechl
Recently, a first successful synthesis of the unknown bulk manganese monocarbide (MnC) has been reported. Suggested as a potential superhard material, the compound is found to crys…
Electronic and magnetic properties of transition-metal doped ScN for spintronics applications
Fares Benissad, Abdesalem Houari
Motivated by the ongoing interest in nitrides as materials for spintronics applications we have studied effects of doping with magnetic transition-metal elements (T=Cr,Mn,Fe,Co and…
