Abstract
In this work, the structural and the magneto-electronic properties of the Sr1-xTixS compounds at dopant concentration x=0.25, 0.50, and 0.75 in the rocksalt ferromagnetic phase are studied using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The structural properties of the three compounds calculated indicate promising findings. The electronic band profiles, the density of states plots, and the integral magnetic moment validate the half-metallic feature only at x=0.25. As a result, the Sr0.75Ti0.25S compound is the most promising spintronic material in the series.
