To gain insight into the spin-glass state of diluted magnetic semiconductors, we have examined the magnetic and electronic properties of Mn-doped ZnTe using density functional theory. Using a generalized gradient approximation, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties for x=0, 0.25, and 0.50 doping levels using the magnetic moment of Mn2+ as guide for the dependence of the Hubbard onsite potential on the electronic structure as well as a geometry optimization to assure an anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) ground state which is consistent with a zero magnetic moment spin glass state. …
