  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>Electronic and magnetic properties of early transition metals (V, Ti, Sc)-FekCpk + 1 sandwich molecular wires (SMWs) are investigated by means of ab initio calculations. It is found that all SMWs favor a ferromagnetic ground state. Significantly, V-FekCpk + 1 SMWs are either half-metallic or semiconducting, dependent upon the parity (even or odd) of the number (k) of Fe atoms in the unit cell of SMWs. This parity oscillation of conductive properties results from the combined effects of the band-folding and gap-opening at the Brillouin-zone boundary of one-dimensional materials. In contrast, Sc-FekCpk + 1 and Ti-FekCpk + 1 SMWs are always semiconducting. Our work may open up the way toward half metal/semiconductor heterostructures with perfect atomic interface.</jats:p>
