摘要: Electronic structure and magnetic properties of Ga 1-x Mn x As, N, Zn M O, Te (M=V,Cr,Mn,Fe, Co) diluted semiconductors (DMS) are calculated by the tight-binding LMTO method in 64-atom supercell. Calculations made at several with varied spatial distribution dopant atoms codoping DMSs. The results show that stability ferro- antiferromagnetic (FM AFM) states DMSs strongly correlates occupation energy position 3d-dopant bands. Adequacy double exchange superexchange mechanisms for explanation FM vs. AFM competition is discussed.
