摘要：
We report total-energy electronic-structure calculations based on density-functional theory that clarify magnetism of Gd-doped GaN. We find that Ga vacancies with the magnetic moment of 3 mu(B) formed upon Gd doping interact ferromagnetically with each other and thus cause gigantic magnetic moments per Gd atom. Our detailed analyses are indicative of intrinsic ferromagnetism due to cation vacancies rather than magnetic dopants in nitride semiconductors.
