Magnetic Investigation Of The Rhodium Based Full-heusler Material: Ab Initio Method

Authors : Boufadi Fatima Zohra .

Abstract

In recent years, heusler alloys have attracted extensive attention because of their usefulness in spintronic devices. In this paper, the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of full heusler alloys Rh2MnZn have been studied by using the FPLAPW method based on density functional theory DFT. Calculations have been done by GGA. The investigations on the structural properties of the alloy showed that the rh2mnzn alloy had a stable structure. The results of gga calculation on electronic properties of rh2mnzn alloy show that the Rh2MnZn alloy had metallic nature due to overlapping between conduction and valance band at fermi level for both spin directions. By studying the magnetic properties, we found that the Rh2MnZn alloy were ferromagnetic materials. We showed that the compound Rh2MnZn has a technological potential for spintronics.
