摘要：
CrO2 has a wide band gap for "down" spins and the Fermi level lies in the middle of the band gap. Calculations based on the local-spin density approximation (LSDA) has been performed to investigate the electronic and physical properties of CrO2 in the rutile structure (P42/mnm). We considered the semicore electrons as valence electrons and found that CrO2 appears to be half-metallic with a direct band gap of 1.8 eV in spin-down and has metallic behavior in spin-up configurations.
