AB Santos-Putungan, JGA Dizon, DB Putungan & FNC Paraan. Enhanced ferromagnetism in Zn0.5 (Co)0.5 O alloy: DFT calculations, in Proceedings of the 33rd Samahang Pisika ng Pilipinas Physics Congress, SPP-2015-PA-14 (University of Northern Philippines, Vigan City, 2015).
Abstract
<div>In this work, we studied the structure and magnetic properties of Zn<span style="font-size: x-small;">0.5</span>(Co)<span style="font-size: x-small;">0.5</span>O alloy via spin-polarized density functional theory DFT. We utilized a 1 x 1 ZnO hexagonal wurtzite unit cell in a 4-atom bilayer configuration, with one Zn atom replaced by a Co atom. We found that the original lattice parameters of ZnO did not change appreciably upon Co alloying, and thus the structure remains robust.
