Electronic structure and magnetic properties of Si doped AlFe2Ge full-Heusler

“…The total magnetic moment of alloys can be predicted from their average valence electron numbers Nv according to the Slater-Pauling rule. The total magnetic moment in multiples of Bohr magnetons u B is given by [63,64]:…”

First-principles investigation of the electronics, optical, mechanical, thermodynamics and thermoelectric properties of Na based Quaternary Heusler alloys (QHAs) NaHfXGe (X = Co, Rh, Ir)

“…Heusler compounds are one of the largest families of ternary inter-metallic compounds have been intensively studied due to their simple crystalline structure, owning to several industrial applications. Also, the presence of the unique electronic structure exhibiting half-metallicity, and a wide variety of properties such as magneto-calories, thermoelectric (TE), and magnetic shape memory effects, promising for the spintronic [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Through the surveyed literature, it was found that Heusler alloys (HA) were broadly divided into four components namely; direct full-HA that crystallizes in L2 1 structure, consisting of four inter-penetrating face centered cubic (FCC) lattices with space group-225 (Fm-3m), inverse full-HA crystallizes in C1 b type structure with space group-216 (F-43m), half-HA that belongs to C1 b type structure, consisting of three in-equivalent atoms forming inter-penetrating FCC sub-lattices, and Quaternary-HA (QHA) that fits in C1 b structure with four in-equivalent atoms [3,8,9].…”
