“…Spintronic properties can be improved by doping certain semiconducting substances [11][12]. The most ancient known magnetic semiconductors are thought to be the compounds having composition AB 2 Z 4 (Z = S, Se, A= Mg, Zn, B = Sm based atoms) [13,14]. A comparative study of these spinels to compounds like MgYb 2 S 4 depicted better ferromagnetic behavior in spinels [15].…”

To comprehend the mechanical, electronic, and magnetic properties of chalcogenides HgSm2S/Se4, a DFT-oriented thorough investigation is carried out. The elastic constants and spin-dependent electrical characteristics are determined by using the PBEsol-GGA functional and (mBJ) potential correspondingly. Through optimization, a sufficient amount of energy is discharged by the FM state as compared to nonmagnetic states. By investigating Born stability criteria and formation energy, the structural stabilities of both spinels are verified. The calculated Poisson's and Pugh's ratios showed that both spinels are ductile. The estimation of Curie temperature has supported the existence of a ferromagnetic nature at room temperature. Moreover, the presence of ferromagnetism in both spinels is confirmed by spin-oriented electrical characteristics, owing to the coupling between component states associated with Sm and S/Se.

“…[ 11,12 ] The compounds with formula AB 2 C 4 (Cd atoms, A = Mg, Zn, C = S, Se, B = rare‐earth atoms) are believed to be the oldest magnetic semiconducting materials. [ 13,14 ] These spinels exhibit good FM features than similar compounds such as MgYb 2 S 4 . [ 15 ] However, such spinels showing FM characteristics are immensely common for applications in spintronic and memory devices.…”

We have performed a comprehensive theoretical analysis of Tm‐based chalcogenides MgTm2Y4 (Y=S, Se) to understand magnetic, optical, mechanical, and transport characteristics. We have employed PBEsol‐GGA functional and modified Becke‐Johnson (mBJ) potential while computing the mechanical and spin‐polarized electronic properties, respectively. The structural stability of both spinels is confirmed using formation energy and Born stability criteria. Both spinels are found exhibiting ductile nature according to the computed Pugh and Poisson’s ratios. For observing the room temperature ferromagnetism, Curie temperature has been calculated. Furthermore, spin‐polarized electronic properties reveal that both spinels exhibit ferromagnetic nature, which is induced due to coupling among Tm and S/Se related constituent states. The potential optoelectronic applications are suggested by computing and discussing dielectric constant, refractive index and absorption coefficient. BoltzTraP code is used to investigate the thermoelectric features of MgTm2Y4 (Y=S, Se) in the 200K‐800K temperature range.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

“…Ferromagnetism materials with semiconducting nature are the best option for spintronic applications. The ferromagnetic spinel semiconductors AB 2 X 4 (A = Cu, Hg, Cd, B = Cr, and X = S, Se) are well-known magnetic semiconductors, for instance, CuCr 2 Se 4 [29][30][31]. Further, the Curie temperature range 84 K-430 K, and ferromagnetic semiconductor behavior make them appealing for spintronics [32].…”

Half metallic ferromagnetism received remarkable attention due to its immense technological applications in spintronic. In this perspective, thiospinels ZnFe2S/Se4 is addressed by employing density functional theory (DFT) for spintronics and thermoelectric devices. The optimized energy versus volume leads to the confirmation of the Ferromagnetic (FM) states stability of both spinels. The formation energy confirms the thermodynamic stability. TDOS and PDOS are determined to confirm spin polarization and half-metallic ferromagnetism. Ferromagnetism is explored by exchange energies and magnetic moments. In addition, thermoelectric characteristics are explored by electrical and thermal conductivities, Seebeck coefficient, and power factor to evaluate their potential in thermoelectric applications.
