First principles calculations of magnetic properties of Rh-doped SnO2(1Â 1Â 0) surfaces

► Ab initio study of magnetic properties of Rh-doped SnO2(1 1 0) surfaces with CRYSTAL03 program. ► Different concentrations of Rh, from 0% to 26.31% this is corresponding to Sn48−2xO96Rh2x(x = 2, 3, 4, 5). ► Investigation of magnetic properties of thin films SnO2(1 1 0) doped with Rh is based on density total (DOS) and projected (PDOS) analysis. ► System nature is concluded from Mulliken population analysis (PPAN).
