Abstract: Using the first-principle density functional theory based on the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method, themagnetoeletric properites and overlapping charge distribution of new diluted magnetic semiconductor Li1±y(Be1-x Mnx)P were calculated and discussed in details. The results show that the doping of Mn causes the system to produce a spin-polarized impurity band. The properties of the doped system can be regulated by the stoichiometry of Li. The density of Fe 3d and P 3p states overlaps at the Fermi level, leads to p-d orbital hybridization. A strong covalent Mn-P bond was formed in the system, which affected the charge distribution of the whole system. When Li is insufficient, the material becomes half-metallic and exhibits 100% spin injection. While in the excess of Li system, the half-metallicity disappears, the band gap dec-teases, and the conductivity is enhanced. But Jahn-Teller effect leads to the net magnetic moment of the system is equal to that of Li vacancy.
