The Electronic, Magnetic, Half-Metallic and Mechanical Properties of the Equiatomic Quaternary Heusler Compounds FeRhCrSi and FePdCrSi: A First-Principles Study

By using the first-principles method, the electronic structures and magnetism of equiatomic quaternary Heusler alloys FeRhCrSi and FePdCrSi were calculated. The results show that both FeRhCrSi and FePdCrSi compounds are ferrimagnets. Both compounds are half-metals and their half-metallicity can be m...
