How can Cr be replaced?<br />
• C<strong>and</strong>idates <strong>to</strong> replace Cr: Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn & Sn<br />
• INMATEL rank according <strong>to</strong> non-chemical fac<strong>to</strong>rs<br />
Mn < Ni < Co < Sn < Zn < Fe<br />
Worst Best<br />
• Approach: compute electronic structure <strong>and</strong> measure dopant level<br />
position above Valence B<strong>and</strong> (VB) edge<br />
