First Principles Study of Electronic Structure and Half-metallicity ot Molecule-based Ferromagnet Cr[N（CN）2]2

分子基磁体Cr[N（CN）2]2电子结构和半金属性的第一性原理研究

The electronic structure and half-metallicity of molecule-based ferromagnet Cr[N（CN）2]2 have been investigated using first-principles with generalized gradient approximation. The total energy, spin-polarized electronic band structure, density of states （DOSs） and spin magnetic moments were all calculated. The calculations reveal that the compound Cr[N（CN）2]2 is a really half-metallic ferromagnet with a integral magnetic moment of 2.0000 μB per molecule in the optimized lattice constant. Based on the spin distribution and the DOS, it is found that the total magnetic moment is mainly from the Cr2＋ with relative small contribution from C and N atoms. The sensitivity of the half-metallicity to small change in lattice constant is also discussed.
