摘要
The hypothetical wurtzite structure chromium chalcogenides were investigated through first-principle calculation within density-functional theory. All compounds are predicted to be true half-metallic ferromagnets with an integer Bohr magneton of 4 μB per unit. Their half-metallic gaps are 1.147, 0.885, and 0.247 eV at their equilibrium volumes for wurtzite-type CrM (M = S, Se, and Te), respectively. The half-metallicity can be mauntauned even when volumes are expanded by more than 20% for all compounds and compressed by more than 20%, 20%, and 5%, for CrS, CrSe, and crTe, respectively.
