Theoretically, based on the spin-polarized density functional theory within the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof （HSE03） approach, we systematically investigate the magnetic properties of Fe-doped InP and predict the existence of electron-mediated ferromagnetism. Experimentally, by diffusing Fe into the n-type InP wafer with thermal annealing at 800 ℃, we observe room-temperature ferromagnetism in InP：Fe, which is in agreement with the theoretical prediction.展开更多
