Abstract

We explored electronic spin-dependent physical aspects of ferromagnetic HgCr2Z4 (Z = S, Se) spinels using density functional theory (DFT) for spintronic and energy storage applications. In calculations of structural, electronic, magnetic, and transport aspects, we used Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof general...
