Theory of the sp–d coupling of transition metal impurities with free carriers in ZnO
Abstract The $$s,p{-}d$$ s , p - d exchange coupling between the spins of band carriers and of transition metal (TM) dopants ranging from Ti to Cu in ZnO is studied within the density functional theory. The $$+U$$ + U corrections are included to reproduce the experimental ZnO band gap and the dopant...
