Abstract
In the present study, the analysis of novel 2D and 3D materials based on density functional theory (DFT) has been demonstrated which has drawn much research attention because of their fascinating properties. ZnO, GaN, diamond, and phosphorene are the best popular materials of recent study. Firstly, the enhancement of ferromagnetism in GaN monolayer doped with copper has been depicted. The findings of this study represent the ferromagnetic character due to the doping of 6.25% (concentration) of nonmagnetic Cu and magnetic long-range coupling among Cu dopant in GaN 2D monolayer which has the value of magnetic moment of 2.0 μB per Cu atom. While for ZnO (2D) layer, the formation of Schottky contact and the interfacial transfer of charge between Cu substrate and ZnO layer has been focused. In 3D materials case, diamond has been the center of attention because of its reliability in the materials society that is why different metals are doped in diamond. By the analysis of electronic properties, the semiconductor behavior is observed when diamond is doped with Ta. The negative value of formation energy makes oxygen-doped diamond layer, a thermodynamically favorable.
