Nitrogen induced ferromagnetism in Cobalt doped BaTiO3

The electronic structure and magnetism of Cobalt doped BaTiO3 (BaTi1−xCoxO3) is investigated. Substitutional Nitrogen on an Oxygen site is found to play an important role in inducing net magnetic moments in the system. The presence of a Nitrogen atom as nearest neighbour to a Cobalt atom is crucial...
