摘要: Abstract Half-metals, which show 100% spin polarization at the Fermi level, have potential applications in spintronics. We investigated half-metallicity of full-Heusler Ti2YAl (Y=V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn) alloys with an Hg2CuTi-type structure by means all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method within generalized gradient approximation. The Ti2MnAl alloy is found to be a half-metallic antiferromagnet, (Y=Fe, Ni) are ferrimagnets, whereas conventional ferromagnets. Total magnetic moments (Mt) (Y=Mn, calculated integers linearly scaled total number valence electrons (Zt) M t = Z − 18 . Band-gaps demonstrated mainly determined bonding t2 antibonding 2 ⁎ states created from hybridizations d between Ti(A)–Ti(B) coupling Y atom.
