Using the first-principles calculations within the density functional theory (DFT), we have investigated the structure, magnetism and half-metallic stability of Co2FeGa Heusler compound under pressure from 0 to 50GPa. The results revel that the lattice constant is gradually shrank and total magnetic moment in per unit slightly decreased with increasing pressure, respectively. Moreover, with the increase of the pressure, the Fermi level will move towards high-energy orientation. When the pressure reaches at 30GPa the most stable half-metallicity is observed which the Fermi level is located at the middle of the spin-minority gap.

The essential properties of monolayer silicene greatly enriched by boron substitutions are thoroughly explored through first-principles calculations. Delicate analyses are conducted on the highly non-uniform Moire superlattices, atom-dominated band structures, charge density distributions and atom- and orbital-decomposed van Hove singularities. The hybridized 2 p z –3 p z and [2s, 2 p x , 2 p y ]–[3s, 3 p x , 3 p y ] bondings, with orthogonal relations, are obtained from the developed theoretical framework. The red-shifted Fermi level and the modified Dirac cones/ π bands/ σ bands are clearly identified under various concentrations and configurations of boron-guest atoms. Our results demonstrate that the charge transfer leads to the non-uniform chemical environment that creates diverse electronic properties.
