Prediction of electronic and half metallic properties of Mn_2YSn (Y = Mo, Nb, Zr) Heusler alloys

We investigate the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the full Heusler compounds Mn_2YSn (Y = Mo, Nb, Zr) by first- principles density functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation. It is found that the calculated lattice constants are in good agreement with the theor...
