摘要
We report here our study on SiC doped with transition metals using first principle density functional theory calculations. We have considered cubic SiC with 3d transition metals as substitutional impurities for Si and C site separately. Cubic SiC doped with Cr, Mn, show ferromagnetism whereas with Sc, Ti, V and Co show site dependency of magnetic properties. Rests of the impurities are found to be non-magnetic.
