Effect of Swap and Antisite Disorder on Electronic, Mechanical and Thermodynamic Properties of Equiatomic All-D-metal Heusler Alloy NiVTiZn
Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials(2024)
摘要
The influence of atomic disorder on electronic, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of equiatomic quaternary all-d metal Heusler alloy NiVTiZn is studied by employing the first-principles calculations. The ground state of NiVTiZn is confirmed to be alpha-type structure with ferromagnetic nature, the calculated spin down energy gap and equilibrium lattice constant is similar to 0.7 eV and 6.048 & Aring;, respectively. The half metallicity could be maintained when uniaxial strain ratio increases from -7.28 % to 9.59 % and when c/a ratio ranges from 0.92 to 1.06, showing a robust half metallicity against the strain effect and tetragonal distortion. Six types of atomic swap disorder and twelve types of atomic antisite disorder are proposed. The V(Ni) and V(Zn) antisite disorders as well as V-Ni and V-Zn swap disorders are the most favorable owing to their negative formation energies. The 100 % spin polarization is preserved in V(Ti), Ni-Zn and V-Ti disordered structures although the width of band gap suffers contraction. The spin polarization of Ni(V), Ni(Zn), V(Zn) and Zn(Ni) disordered structures is also larger than 80 %. In addition, the effect of various disorder on mechanical and thermodynamic properties is also studied in detail.
