Abstract:
The electronic structure and magnetic properties of the M2CoA type Heusler alloys Mn2CoAl, Mn2CoSi, Ti2CoAl and Ti2CoSi were systematically investigated using first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. The results show that Mn2CoAl is a ferrimagnetic spin gapless semiconductor; Mn2CoSi and Ti2CoAl are ferrimagnetic spin half-metals, while Ti2CoSi is a ferromagnetic spin half-metal. The total spin magnetic moments of the M2CoA type Heusler alloys are integers, obeying the Slater-Pauling rule. By analyzing the band structures and electronic density of states, the origin of spin gapless semiconductor as well as half-metal were revealed. The calculation results of phonon dispersion curves and elastic constants show that all the M2CoA type Heusler alloys are stable in the lattice dynamics and mechanics. © 2016, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA).
