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 />
