The possibility of ferromagnetism in SnO2 is explored by (Fe,TM= Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, and Co) co-doping strategy using ab-initio calculations. Our results revealed that (Fe,Sc), (Fe,V), (Fe,Cr), (Fe,Mn), and (Fe,Co) co-doped SnO2 materials exhibit stable FM ground state, while (Fe,Ti) co-doped system...
