摘要: Abstract Within Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof generalized gradient approximation, first-principles calculations were performed to investigate the electronic structures and magnetic properties of II–II–V based DMS ( Ba , K )( Zn Mn ) 2 As with holes doped via (Ba 2+ 1+ replacements, spins isovalent (Zn substitutions. Compound BaZn is paramagnetic semiconductor a calculated band gap 0.28 eV. With Mn–Mn pair in different distances, 1− y  = 0.03125) system shows antiferromagnetic behaviour caused by short-range superexchange interactions between localized ions. Holes introduced dopants lead metallic x drive toward ferromagnetism. The ferromagnetic coupling attributed long-range p − d exchange mediated itinerant holes. Competition interaction determines order system, competition dependent on both concentration distribution dopants.
