Effects of Se vacancies (vSes) on structural and magnetic properties of Fe-doped Bi2Se3 topological insulators are investigated with density-functional theory. It is found both the Fe-Fe dopants and Fe-vSe tend to form clusters. An antiferromagnetic (AFM) to ferromagnetic (FM) phase transition occurs when two Se vacancies are nearby the Fe-Fe dopants, triggered by Fe-Fe direct interactions and carrier-mediated FM interactions. Our results provide an understanding of magnetism in the magnetic topological insulators with Se vacancies. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
