abstract = {Recently, magnetic phase-change materials have been
synthesized experimentally by doping with 3d transition
metal impurities. Here, we investigate the electronic
structure and the magnetic properties of the prototypical
phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) doped with V, Cr, Mn,
and Fe by density functional calculations. Both the
supercell method and the coherent potential approximation
(CPA) are employed to describe this complex substitutionally
disordered system. As regards the first approach, we
consider a large unit cell containing 1000 sites to model
the random distribution of the cations and of the impurities
in doped cubic GST. Such a large-scale electronic structure
calculation is performed using the program kkrnano, where
the full potential screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green's
function method is optimized by a massively parallel linear
scaling (order-N) all-electron algorithm. Overall, the
electronic structures and magnetic exchange coupling
constants calculated by kkrnano agree quite well with the
CPA results. We find that ferromagnetic states are favorable
in the cases of V and Cr doping, due to the double exchange
mechanism, whereas antiferromagnetic superexchange
interactions appear to be dominant for Fe- and Mn-doped GST.
The ferromagnetic interaction is particularly strong in the
case of Cr. As a result, high Curie temperatures close to
room temperatures are obtained for large Cr concentrations
of $15\%.$},
