Abstract
Structures, electronic and magnetic properties of Mn and Mn2 doped stoichiometric (GaO) n clusters with n = 1−7 are studied in the framework of density functional theory. Doping of a Mn atom is found to be energetically favorable in (GaO) n clusters and the equilibrium configurations are found to be determined by the metal–oxygen interactions. Mn prefers to maximize the number of Mn–O bonds by selecting a Ga site in the cluster which increases its coordination with oxygen. Addition of a Mn atom in Mn(GaO) n clusters results into the ground state to be either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic depending on the Mn coordination number and the Mn–Mn bond-length in the given Mn2(GaO) n cluster.
