摘要
Magnetic impurities in ternary semiconductors could spectacularly change its properties. To better understand the Mn effects, we have performed theoretical calculations of the atomic structure and electronic properties of Mn-doped ZnGeP2 chalcopyrite. The influence of the concentration and location of impurity atoms on magnetic properties is analysed. The possibilities of spintronic applications of the material are discussed.
