摘要
Density functional theory （DFT） calculations are performed to investigate the electronic structure and ferromagnetism of （In, Cr）2O3. The densities of states suggest that the Cr dopants provide nearly 100% polarization of the conduction carriers and the ferromagnetic ground state in Cr-doped In2O3 can be explained from p-d hybridization mechanism. The calculation results also show that the ferromagnetism is strengthened in the presence of oxygen vacancy.
