Abstract:
Electronic structures, exchange interaction mechanism between magnetic ions and Curie temperature of Vanadium-doped nitrides (AlN, GaN, and InN) are studied within KKR-LSDA-CPA. It is found that the ferromagnetic super-exchange interaction mechanism is dominant at low concentrations of Vanadium, but the anti-ferromagnetic super-exchange interaction appears and reduces the stabilization of ferromagnetism at sufficiently high concentrations (x > 0.10), especially for Vanadium-doped AlN and Vanadium-doped GaN. The estimation of the Curie temperature within the mean field approximation shows the Curie temperature of Vanadium-doped nitrides exceeding room temperature with a few constituents of Vanadium.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
