Abstract
With the aim of improving and investigating magnetocaloric insights for spintronic applications, we investigated the electronic structure of Cr-doped AlSb compounds via first-principles calculations using the KKR-CPA-DFT method. Here, we investigated the stability of alloy materials as a function of magnetic contamination. A stable semimetallic ferromagnetic phase can be obtained by introducing the Cr element into AlSb, which is inherent in nonmagnetic semiconductors. The total magnetic moment of the doped material changes from 0.1167 μB to 0.716 μB for 4% and 25% Cr, respectively. Curie temperature changed to 740 K at 25% Cr concentration.

期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
