Ab initio Studies on Electronic and Magnetic Properties of X$_{2}$PtGa (X = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co) Heusler Alloys (1603.08350v2)

Published 28 Mar 2016 in cond-mat.mtrl-sci

Abstract: Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we probe the electronic and magnetic properties of X${2}$PtGa (X being Cr, Mn, Fe, Co) Heusler alloys. Our calculations predict that all these systems possess inverse Heusler alloy structure in their respective ground states. Application of tetragonal distortion leads to lowering of energy with respect to the cubic phase for all the materials. The equilibrium volumes of both the phases are nearly the same. These results of our calculations indicate that all these materials are prone to undergo martensite transition, as has been recently shown theoretically for Mn${2}$PtGa in the literature. Ground state with a tetragonal symmetry of these materials is supported by the observation of soft tetragonal shear constants in their cubic phase. By comparing the energies of various types of magnetic configurations of these alloys we predict that Cr${2}$PtGa and Mn${2}$PtGa possess ferrimagnetic configuration whereas Fe${2}$PtGa and Co${2}$PtGa possess ferromagneic configuration in their respective ground states.
