5-Fold symmetry axes in scandium clusters localise same spin electrons. This explains the anomalously high magnetic moment of scandium clusters with 5-membered rings and clarifies the role of d-electrons in the formation of superatomic states.

ABSTRACTGd:GaN layers grown with different Gd concentrations by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) are studied using photoconductivity and photo-thermoelectric power spectroscopy. Our study reveals that the incorporation of Gd produces a large concentration of acceptor-like defects in the GaN lattice. The defect band is found to be located ~450meV above the valence band. Moreover, the concentration of defects is found to increase with the Gd concentration. The effect of annealing on the structural and the magnetic properties of GaN implanted with Gd is also investigated. A clear correlation between the saturation magnetization and the defect density is observed in implanted samples. The colossal magnetic moment per Gd ion and the ferromagnetism observed in this material is explained in terms of the formation of giant defect cluster around each Gd ion.

In this paper, we investigate the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of CoFeCrZ ([Formula: see text], As,Sb) quaternary Heusler alloy, using the first-principles full potential linear muffin-tin orbital (FP-LMTO) method within the spin gradient generalized approximation (GGA) for the exchange and correlation potential. Our results demonstrate that in ferromagnetic phase, the all alloys CoFeCrZ are stable in type-1 configuration and are half-metallic ferromagnets (HMF) with gaps of 0.99[Formula: see text]eV, 0.57[Formula: see text]eV and 0.70[Formula: see text]Ev, respectively. The obtained negative formation energy shows that CoFeCrZ alloys have strong structural stability. The calculated total magnetic moment, [Formula: see text] for all alloys exhibit Slater-Pauling rule, [Formula: see text]. At zero pressure, the three alloys shown 100% spin-polarization at Fermi–level [Formula: see text] with high Curie temperatures [Formula: see text]. Our calculation indicate also that the half-metallicity and high magnetic moment of CoFeCrP, CoFeCrAs and CoFeCrSb are robust against the lattice compression (up to 7.80%, 5.40% and 11%, respectively). On the basis of these results, it is suggested that the CoFeCrZ Heusler could be suitable for spintronics devices applications.
