Material designs based on the first principle calculations of electronic structures are proposed for alpha-quartz SiO2-based dilute magnetic semiconductors. The incorporation of transition metals (TMs) into Si sites and of the non-TM atoms into O sites are treated for various concentrations. At temperatures higher than room temperature, most of the TM-doped SiO2 have no magnetism, yet Si1-xMnxO2 might achieve the ferromagnetism. The substitution of 0 by non-TM atoms as C or N also induces the magnetism in the host. However, while the N's substitution induces the ferromagnetism, C's substitution causes an antiferromagnetic behavior in the host material SiO2. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
