摘要: Ab initio density functional calculations are performed on the Co3−xFexSi alloys with variable iron composition (1 ≤ x ≤ 3). The evolution of structural, electronic, and magnetic properties is investigated within different levels approximations. These crystallize in cubic Heusler structures, which evolve from regular L21 structure for Co2FeSi to inverse X x ≥ 2. Using on-site Coulomb interactions Ueff(Co) = 3.07 eV Ueff(Fe) = 3.4 eV found describe consistently experimental x ≤ 2. A good agreement between calculated moments phases without addition Hubbard-model. spin polarization range 1 Fe concentrations x ≤ 2, indicating half-metallic character, −0.29 at x = 3.
