摘要: Using the first-principles calculations based on density functional theory within generalized gradient approximation (GGA), we investigate structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Ti2ZAl (Z = Co, Fe, Mn) alloys with CuHg2Ti-type structure. The optimized equilibrium lattice constants were found to be 6.08 A for Ti2CoAl, 6.07 Ti2FeAl 6.16 Ti2MnAl. are half-metallic ferromagnets. total moment is 2, 1 0 µB, respectively, which in agreement Slater–Pauling rule Mtot=Ztot- 18. have a band gap 0.64745, 0.57795 0.39327 eV, respectively.
