The calculated results show that the Cr doping in GaP induces the ferromagnetism and originates a half metallic (HM) gap at Fermi level (E F) in minority spin channel (MIC) for all concentrations. The half metallicity is originated by the hybridization of Cr-d states with P-p states. Moreover, the half metallicity remains intact for all Cr-concentration. We also observed that the HM gap increases with the reduction in doping concentration from 0.25 to 0.03. The total magnetic moment of this compound is mainly due to Cr-d states present at E F. A small induced magnetic moment on other non magnetic atoms (Ga and P) for all doping concentrations is a consequence of p-d hybridization between Cr-d and P-p states. 2014-01-28T04:20:54Z 2014-01-28T04:20:54Z 2012-09 Article Journal of Alloys and Compounds, vol. 536, 2012, pages 214-218 0925-8388 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0925838812008043# http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/31553 en Elsevier B.V.
