We performed first-principles calculation to show that a host–guest silicon nanostructure can exhibit half-metallic properties, wherein the host is a single-walled hexagonal silicon nanotube while the guest is a hybrid atomic chain of Mn and Co (encapsulated in the host nanotube). The calculated electronic band structures indicate that the Fermi level intersects only in the spin-up band, whereas the spin-down band exhibits semiconducting characteristics.

The effects of strain on the half-metallic (HM) and elastic properties of FeCrTe and CoCrSi alloys with Clb structure were calculated using a first-principles calculation. Both compounds showed (HM) property with full spin polarization, and this property can be present when their lattice constants are in the range from 5.18 Å to 5.71 Å for CoCrSi, and 5.25 Å to 6.05 Å for FeCrTe. The calculations of elastic properties show that both compounds are mechanically stable, ductile and hard with varied properties. In addition, calculations of the elastic characteristics for the above ranges for both FeCrTe and CoCrSi alloys showed mechanical stability, therefore, the FeCrTe and CoCrSi alloys are likely to be composed in experimental applications.

Using first-principles calculation within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and [Formula: see text] (Hubbard Coulomb onsite correction), we investigated the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of CrS, CrSe and CrTe compounds in different phases. We found that the NaCl phase is the lowest energy structure in comparison to the other investigated phases within the [Formula: see text] approach for CrS, CrSe and CrTe compounds. The CrX compounds investigated in the NaCl phase are all half-metallic ferromagnets with a net magnetic moment of 4.0[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] within the [Formula: see text] approximation. From the density of states profile and charge density distribution, the observed half-metallic ferromagnetism in the CrS, CrSe and CrTe compounds is due to the spin polarized 3[Formula: see text] orbitals of the Cr atoms. The observed stable half-metallic ferromagnetism in the NaCl phase of the CrS, CrSe and CrTe compounds should motivate further experimental studies on the possible application of these compounds as spintronic materials.
