Title : Structural and magnetic properties of new half metallic ferromagnetism
Abstract:
First-principles calculations of structural, elastic, electronic and magnetic properties of full-Heusler Ir2HfB, Ir2HfAl and Ir2HfGa have been realized by full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method implemented inWIEN2K code. The Perdew–Burke–Ernzerh of generalized gradient approximation (PBE-GGA) carried out the computation of different parameters to describe elastic and structural properties. The calculation of structural properties revealed that the three alloys are stable in cubic AlCu2Mn-type structure in ferromagnetic state. The elastic constants calculation shows the three alloys satisfy the stability criteria. Indeed, the calculated spin-polarized electronic band structure and density of states usinggeneralized gradient approximation (GGA) show that Ir2HfZ (Z = B, Al, Ga) alloys have a metallic character. The influence of strong electronic correlation has been considered in GGA+Uand mBJ-GGA+U approximations that allows for improving the width of the band gap. The calculations carried out with GGA+U and mBJ-GGA+U show that Ir2HfAl and Ir2HfGa have a half-metallic behavior; however, Ir2HfB has a near half-metallic character. The calculated magnetic moments of Ir2HfB, Ir2HfAl and Ir2HfGa in a regular cubic structure with GGA+U and mBJ-GGA+U equal 1mB. With mBJ-GGA+U, the spin polarization values are 100% for Ir2HfAl, Ir2HfGa and 99.90% for Ir2HfBto be applicable for spintronics.
