Abstract: This paper is a review of the state-of-the-art research concerning the first-principle simulation, synthesis, properties, and application prospects of a new class of magnetic materials obtained by doping nonmagnetic sp compounds (oxides, chalcogenides, and borides of nontransition sp elements) or nanostructures (carbon, BN, AlN, and MgO nanotubes) with nonmagnetic sp impurities or nanostructures involving structural vacancies or topological defects.
