Site-Preference, Electronic, Magnetic, and Half-Metal Properties of Full-Heusler Sc<sub>2</sub>VGe and a Discussion on the Uniform Strain and Tetragonal Deformation Effects

A hypothetical full-Heusler alloy, Sc<sub>2</sub>VGe, was analyzed, and the comparison between the XA and L2<sub>1</sub> structures of this alloy was studied based on first-principles calculations. We found that the L2<sub>1</sub>-type structure was more stable th...
