Stability and mechanical, electronic, and optical investigations of a new Heusler alloy: Ag2ScGe

Using first-principles calculations, a new type of the full-Heusler alloy, namly, Ag2ScGe, with XA configuration, is proposed. The unit cell of the Ag2ScGe alloy consists of 16 atoms, and it is found that there may be two different phases: XA and L21. To determine the stable configuration of the Ag2...
