First-principles study of the metal-insulator transition in the Ti-substituted rutile CrO2

The effect of Ti-substitution for Cr in CrO2 is extensively studied by employing first-principles electronic structure calculations. The host material is a ferromagnetic half-metal. This material encounters first step transition from half-metal to a metallic phase at 50% Ti-substitution for Cr. The...
