摘要: The Hg2CuTi-type structure is found to be preferable energy wise than the Cu2MnAl-type for full-Heusler Cr2MnAl and exhibits half-metallic ferromagnetism based on first principles. calculations mixed compounds with disorder between B D sublattices reveal that case of exchanging one atom maintains half-metallicity while two atoms loses it. electronic structures at sites A or C are affected mainly by nearest-neighboring coordination site determined next-nearest-neighboring coordination.
