Effect of Co-Doping on Electronic and Magnetic Properties in Ti2NiAl Heusler Alloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

By using local spin density approximation (LSDA) scheme within the density functional theory (DFT), the structure, magnetism and electronic properties of Co-doped Heusler alloy Ti2NiAl with Hg2CuTi- and Cu2MnAl-type structure are comprehensively investigated. The results revealed that whole of the doped alloys with Hg2CuTi-type structure are ground configurations and half-metallic. With the increase of Co-doped concentration, the lattice constants and total magnetic moments in per unit are changed linearly, and the discrepancies of total energy between Hg2CuTi- and Cu2MnAl structure are also enhanced. Analysis on density of states (DOS) revealed that the Fermi level should gradually move to high-energy orientation with increasing Co content due to stronger hybridization of d-electronic atoms.
