Electronic Structures and Magnetism of DO3-Type Heusler Alloys Rh3M (M=Al, Ga, In, Si)

Article Preview

Abstract:

We investigate the electronic structure and magnetism of DO3-type Heusler alloys Rh3M (M = Al, Ga, In, Si) using the first-principle calculations. The Rh3Si have been predicted to be half-metallic ferromagent at their equilibrium lattice constants. The effect of lattice parameters on the electronic structure and magnetic properties is also discussed in detail.
