Magnetic Material Based on Full-Heusler Alloy Co2CrGa

Article Preview

Abstract:

By means of the full potential linearized augmented plane-wave method based on the first-principle study, we calculate the structure, electronic and magnetic properties of full-Heusler alloy Co2CrGa. Our results show that full-Heusler alloy Co2CrGa is ferromagnetic ground state with a magnetic moment of 3.03774 μB per formula unit. Importantly, the calculated spin polarization around the Fermi level is very high up to 93.2%, which indicates that full-Heusler alloy Co2CrGa would be possibly applied to the field of the material engineering and spintronic devices.
