The composition dependences of the density of states in Co- and Cr-doped Ni-Mn-Sn Heusler alloys are investigated by using first principles calculations. The off-stoichiometric compositions are realized by the coherent-potential approximation. We have shown that the spin polarization decreases with increasing Cr and Co concentrations. While, the total magnetic moment was found to decrease (increase) with increasing Cr (Co) concentration, respectively.

Using the coherent potential approximation, we investigate the effects of disorder on the optical absorption and the density of states of Frenkel exciton systems on square, rectangular, and triangular lattices with nearest-neighbor interactions and a Gaussian distribution of transition energies. The analysis is based on an elliptic integral approach that gives results over the entire spectrum. The results for the square lattice are in good agreement with the finite-array calculations of Schreiber and Toyozawa. Our findings suggest that the coherent potential approximation can be useful in interpreting the optical properties of two-dimensional systems with dominant nearest-neighbor interactions and Gaussian diagonal disorder provided the optically active states are Frenkel excitons.
