Fig. 4: Electronic structure calculations of ABTe₃ alloys.

The density of states (DOS) in both crystalline (c−) and amorphous (a−) phases for a CrSiTe₃, b ScSiTe₃, c BiSiTe₃, d InGeTe₃, e InSiTe₃, and f AlSiTe₃. The spin-up and spin-down electronic states of magnetic CrSiTe₃ are rendered in red and blue, respectively.
