A theoretical analysis of elastic and optical properties of half Heusler MCoSb (M=Ti, Zr and Hf)

Ab initio calculation of the Elastic and Optical properties of cubic half-Heusler compounds MCoSb (M = Ti, Zr and Hf) are reported using the FP-LAPW approach of the Density Functional Theory. Generalized Gradient Approximation was used as the exchange and correlation potential for investigating thes...
