contents Spin filtering is a fundamental operation in spintronics, enabling the generation and detection of spin-polarized carriers. Here, we proposed and theoretically demonstrated that a 3d transition metal (TM) doped silicon quantum dot (SiQD) is a suitable candidate for spin filter device at room temperature. Using density functional theory (DFT), we investigate the structure, electronic properties, and magnetic behavior of TM-SiQD. Our calculations demonstrate that Mn-doped SiQD exhibits the highest stability. The designed spin-filter device using Mn-doped SiQD shows a spin-filtering efficiency of 99.9% at 300K electrode temperature along with very high conductance. This remarkable efficiency positions it as a promising candidate for room-temperature spintronic devices.
