The structural optimization was followed by the calculation of electronic structure and magnetic properties on Co 2 CrAl and Co 2 CrGa . The structure optimization was based on generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The calculation of electronic structure was based on full potential linear augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method within local spin density approximation (LSDA). We studied the electronic structure and magnetic properties. Results of density of states (DOS) and band structures shows that Co 2 CrAl and Co 2 CrGa are half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFS). The calculated magnetic moments of Co 2 CrAl and Co 2 CrGa are 2.915 and 3.075 μ B , respectively. We have calculated the onsite d–d coulomb and exchange interaction (U) For 3d elements like Co and Cr . The strongly localized d states were treated with LSDA+U method.

We study the Structural, Electronic and Magnetic properties of Co-based LiMgPdSn-types of quaternary Heusler compounds (CoFeCrAl, CoFeTiAs, CoFeCrGa, and CoMnVAS) using Density Functional Theory (DFT) implemented on Tight Binding Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital within Atomic Sphere Approximation(TB-LMTO-ASA) Code. The optimized value of lattice parameter for CoFeCrAl, CoFeTiAs, CoFeCrGa and CoMnVAs are found to be 5.61A˚, 5.76 A˚, 5.61A˚ and 5.71A˚ respectively. From the calculation of electronic band structure and spin polarized total density of states (DOS), we found that CoFeCrAl and CoFeCrGa are spin-gapless semiconductor with half-metallic gap of 0.82eV and 0.25eV respectively. CoFeTiAs half-metals (Nearly spin-gapless semiconductor) with half-metallic gap 0.38 eV and CoMnVAs is found to be nearly gapless half-metal. Magnetic moment of these compounds almost obey the Slater-Pauling rules. All these compounds  expected to have high curie temperature which makes them significant for spintroincs/magnetoelectroincs applications.BIBECHANA 15 (2018) 50-59

Half metallic ferromagnets are candidate materials for novel electronic devices, which can control the spin character of the conducting electrons. Electronic band calculation predicted that Co2MnGe Heusler compounds may has the half metallic band structure. In the present study, structure and magnetic properties have been investigated of the Co2MnGe for bulk and thin films. In the bulk sample, plate defects have been found.
