First-principles calculations to investigate vanadium-doped Li2Te compound for optoelectronic and spintronic applications
摘要
The present study reports the structural, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of vanadium-doped Li2Te using the ab-initio simulations within the framework of density functional theory. To account for exchange-correlation effects, the PBE-GGA, PBE-GGA-mBJ, and PBE-GGA+U approximations were employed. Our findings reveal that the ground state of vanadium-doped Li2Te is ferromagnetic, with the ferromagnetic behavior predominantly arising from strong spin-splitting effects on the d orbitals of vanadium atoms. The formation energy (
