Magnetic and Optical Properties of Co-doped Zinc Blende ZnO
magnetic and optical properties of Co doped zinc blende ZnO were systematically studied by using the first-principles based on the spin polarized density functional theory. The calculated results show that the ground state of Co doped zinc blende ZnO is antiferromagnetic and shows metal characteristics
while the ferromagnetic state shows the half-metallic characteristics. For the ferromagnetic coupling state
strong spin-orbit coupling appears near the Fermi level and shows no obvious asymmetry for up and down spins
which indicates a significant hybrid effects from Co 3d and O 2p states. The magnetic moments are mainly contributed by unpaired electrons in Co 3d and neighbor O 2p orbital and are correlated to the doped site of Co atoms. In addition
the calculated results of optical properties show that Co doped zinc blende ZnO has a strong absorptive capacity at the visible light
and the absorption peaks have red shift in the high energy region. The theoretical calculated results demonstrate that Co-doped zinc blende ZnO may become excellent magneto-optic materials.
