摘 要: 采用基于密度泛函理論的第一性原理平面波贗勢方法研究Co摻雜4H-SiC的電子結(jié)構(gòu)和磁性。計算結(jié)果表明:Co摻雜引入了空穴,產(chǎn)生自旋極化。Co摻雜4H-SiC的價帶頂和導(dǎo)帶底分別由Co的3d態(tài)和C的2p態(tài)占據(jù),而Si的2p軌道作用較小。通過計算10種可能的摻雜位置,確定了鐵磁性最穩(wěn)定的組態(tài)。由于Co0:3d-C:2p-Co6:3d鏈之間存在一定的耦合關(guān)系,Co與C原子間強(qiáng)烈的d-p軌道雜化使得Co摻雜4H-SiC處于較穩(wěn)定的鐵磁基態(tài)。Co的引入使得基體空穴增加,缺陷調(diào)節(jié)下空穴載流子的遠(yuǎn)程交換(RKKY)機(jī)制導(dǎo)致了鐵磁性的出現(xiàn)。

Abstract:Electronic and magnetic properties of Co doped 4H-SiC are researched by use of the first-principle plane wave pseudo-potential method based on density functional theory. Ten kinds of doping position were calculated and the most stable configuration was found out. The calculation results show that spin-polarization appears in one Co atom doped 4H-SiC, which is due to the introduction of vacancy. The top of valence band and the bottom of the conduction band are mainly contributed by Co-3d, C-2p orbitals, with small contribution of Si-2p. Ferromagnetism order is activated by Co doping via a Co0:3d-C:2p-Co6:3d coupling chain. Hybridization occurs between p-d orbitals. The doped Co ion will induce additional holes carrier into the 4H-SiC. Therefore, the mechanisms for stabilizing the ferromagnetic state in Co doped 4H-SiC based on defect interaction and Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction.
