Possible d0 ferromagnetism in MgO doped with nitrogen
  We study the possibility of d0 ferromagnetism in the compound   MgO doped with nitrogen (N). The Haldane-Anderson impurity model is formulated within the tight-binding approximation for determining the host band-structure and the impurity-host hybridization. Using the quantum Monte Carlo technique, we observe a finite local moment for an N impurity, and long-range ferromagnetic correlations between two N impurities. The ferromagnetic correlations are strongly influenced by the impurity bound state. When the ferromagnetic correlation between a pair of impurities is mapped onto the isotropic Heisenberg model for two spin-1/2 particles, the effective exchange constant J12 is found to increase with increasing temperature. Similar temperature dependence of J12 is also obtained in other diluted magnetic semiconductors, such as zincblende ZnO doped with Mn. The temperature dependence of J12 suggests that the mapping of the full Hamiltonian onto the spin Hamiltonian cannot fully describe the magnetic correlations for the diluted magnetic semiconductors at least in the limit of low impurity spin.
