中文摘要	The full-potential augmented plane wave plus local orbital method within density-functional theory is used to predict that MnBi in the zinc-blende structure is a true half-metallic ferromagnet with a magnetic moment of 4.000mu(B) per formula unit. This contrasts with the zinc-blende phase of MnAs, which is only a nearly half-metallic ferromagnet. This half-metallic ferromagnetic behavior of zinc-blende MnBi is found to be robust against compressive volume changes of up to 15%, its stability being enhanced by the relativistic shift of the valence s state energy levels. Zinc-blende MnBi could possibly be grown epitaxially on the important binary semiconductors such as InSb or CdTe, although it remains to be seen whether epitaxially it retains its half-metallic ferromagnetic state.
