Anti-perovskite nitrides exhibit rich physical properties and have broad application prospects in spintronic devices.The theoretical and experimental research progress on the magnetic properties of 3d metal element-doped anti-perovskite nitrides was reviewed.The mechanism and laws of the effects of the doping lattice occupancy,valence state and amount of the doping element,as well as the thickness of the films and temperature on the magnetic properties of anti-perovskite nitrides were analyzed in details.It shows that the structures of anti-perovskite nitrides were changed due to the 3d metal element doping,which also affects the magnetic properties of the anti-perovskite nitrides.Finally,the application prospects,challenges and research interests of 3d metal element-doped anti-perovskite nitrides in spintronic devices were discussed.
