Abstract

The electronic and magnetic states of beryllium monoxide BeO with lattice vacancies were investigated by the PAW-VASP ab initio band structure method. In the presence of defects in the beryllium sublattice, vacancy-induced magnetic moments arise on the oxygen atoms, and the nonstoichiometric Be1−x O passes to the magnetic half-metal state.
