摘要: Abstract In the present work, we have investigated structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Ti2VZ (Z = Si, Ge, Sn) alloys with Hg2CuTi-type structure in framework density functional theory generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The calculated results show that Ti2VSi Ti2VGe belong to half-metallic compounds a perfect 100% spin polarization at Fermi level while Ti2VSn alloy is just conventional ferrimagnetism compound. And total moment obey Slater–Pauling (SP) rule. moderate variation range lattice distortion, remain half-metallicity. We expect our may trigger applying future spintronics field.
