Structural stability, electronic, magnetic and thermoelectric properties for half-metallic quaternary Heusler alloys CrLaCoZ

Jun-Rui Liu et al.

Summary: Using first-principles calculations, the CrLaCoZ (Z = Al, Ga, In, Ge, Sn, Pb) Heusler alloys are predicted to be half-metals. The structural stability of these alloys is analyzed in terms of various factors, and it is found that CrLaCoAl, CrLaCoGa, CrLaCoIn, and CrLaCoSn are easier to synthesize experimentally. The formation of a half-metallic gap is attributed to the hybridization of d-d and p-d orbitals, while the presence of impurities destroys their half-metallicity. Additionally, the effects of spin-orbit coupling on electronic structure and the thermoelectric properties of these alloys are investigated.

First-principles calculations for formation energy and magnetism of defect structures in Heusler alloys Mg -V -Z (Z = Al, Ga, In)

C. S. Jiang et al.

Summary: The study indicates that Z atoms play an important role in structural stability, substitutions between second neighbor atoms are energetically favorable, and Mg-rich V-poor, V-rich Mg-poor, and V-rich In-poor alloys tend to form direct antisite defects, while other alloys tend to form indirect antisite defects. Indirect antisite defects are easier to form in stoichiometric alloys.

Investigation of the half-metallicity, magnetism and spin transport properties of double half-Heusler alloys Mn2CoCrZ2 (Z = P, As)

Zhou Cui et al.

Summary: A new subfamily of Heusler alloys, Mn(2)CoCrZ(2) (Z = P, As), were investigated for their magnetic properties and used to construct magnetic tunnel junctions. Both Mn2CoCrP2 and Mn2CoCrAs2 are half-metallic ferrimagnets, maintaining their half-metallicity under different lattice constant ratios. The tunnel magnetoresistance ratios of the two types of MTJs are high, making them promising candidates for high performance spintronic devices.
