Abstract

The electronic structure and ferromagnetic properties of ZnO doped and co-doped, with single and double impurities Zn1−x − y A x B y O (A= Mo; B = Mn, Cr), have been investigated using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) method combined with the coherent potential approximation (CPA). The half-metal behaviour is observed for different co-doping concentrations. The mechanism of ferromagnetism in these components is also discussed.
