The effect of Gd doping and O deficiency on the electronic structure, exchange interaction, and Curie temperature of EuO in the cubic and tetragonal phases is modeled by means of density functional theory. We observe a maximum in the Curie temperature around 6.25% Gd doping, originating from a combination of f-d hopping and indirect exchange. However, the effect is suppressed at high doping. An increased Curie temperature is found in the case of O deficiency and is attributed to a double exchange mechanism, which is suppressed in the tetragonal phase due to Jahn-Teller distortions.
