Theoretical Investigations on the Mechanical, Magneto-Electronic Properties and Half-Metallic Characteristics of ZrRhTiZ (Z = Al, Ga) Quaternary Heusler Compounds

The electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties were investigated for ZrRhTiZ (Z = Al, Ga) quaternary Heusler compounds by employing first-principles calculations framed fundamentally within density functional theory (DFT). The obtained electronic structures revealed that both compounds have hal...
