Using In2O3 as a host matrix, extensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to study the mechanism of ferromagnetism in In2O3-based system. As a conventional approach to introduce local magnetic moment by transition metal doping, Fe-doped In2O3 (IFO) is the suitable prot...
