Electronic structures and magnetic properties of various possible ternary transition-metal compounds based on zincblende ZnTe and CdTe semiconductors are systematically explored by using an accurate density-functional method. Half-metallic (HM) ferromagnetism is found in the ZnTe and CdTe heavily doped with Cr, V, and Mn. Quite high Curie temperatures would be expected in most of these HM ferromagnets. These HM ferromagnetic phases, structurally stable and compatible with the two semiconductors, would be useful in spintronics.
