Electronic structure and magnetic properties of X₂YZ (X = Co, Y = Mn, Z = Ge, Sn) type Heusler compounds: a first principle study

摘要

We performed the structure optimization followed by the calculation of electronic structure and magnetic properties on Co₂MnGe and Co₂MnSn. The structure optimization was based on generalized gradient approximation exchange correlation and full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. The calculation of electronic structure was based on FP-LAPW method using local spin density approximation. We have studied the electronic structure and magnetic properties. The calculated density of states and band structures shows the half-metallic ferromagnets character of Co₂MnGe and Co₂MnSn.View full textDownload full textKeywordsGGA, half-metallicity, DOS and band structureRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01411594.2012.661860
