Magnetism in Doped Two-Dimensional Honeycomb Structures of III-V Binary Compounds

Using first-principles plane-wave calculations study of magnetic properties of doped two-dimensional honeycomb structures of III-V binary compounds have been conducted for either nonmagnetic dopants or vacancies. Calculations show that all cases where magnetic moment is non-zero, are energetically more favorable. For such cases band structure and density of states were calculated and analyzed in detail. The possible applications of these structures were also discussed.
