We carry out first principles spin polarized calculations in order to study the electronic structure and magnetism of Ni0.0625Zn0.9375O compound using density functional theory (DFT) within a plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential scheme. The electronic properties of NixZn1-xO at a concentration of 6.25% are analyzed using a 2×2×2 wurtzite ZnO supercell. We optimize the lattice constants of ZnO pure and Ni0.0625Zn0.9375O. We observe that if one Zn atom is substituted by one Ni atom in the wurtzite ZnO supercell, the lattice parameters decrease slightly some thousandths of angstrom. We also find a stable ferromagnetic state in Ni doped ZnO with a total magnetization of 2.04μBper supercell. Using the optimized lattice parameters, we have calculated the band structure and density of states of Ni0.0625Zn0.9375O.
