Article Description

We study the electronic and magnetic properties of the Cr2MnSb full-Heusler alloy using ab initio electronic structure calculations. We take into account both possible L21 structures ( CuHg2Ti and AlCu2Mn types) and we determine the phase diagram. Both types of the L21 structure present similar magnetic properties and they are ferrimagnets. Moreover they also present the half-metallic property for a wide range of lattice constants resulting to a half-metallic antiferromagnet. Thus Cr2MnSb is a promising material for future spintronic applications.
