The electronic and magnetic properties of Heusler alloys CoaCrZ (Z -- Ga, Ge, As) were investigated by using local spin density approximation (LSDA). Amongst the systems under investigation, CoECrGe and Co2CrGa give I00% spin polarization at the Fermi level (EF). Co2CrGe and CoECrGa are the most stable half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs); their EF lie exactly at the gap of 0.24 eV and 0.38 eV, respectively, in the spin-down channel. Even though CoaCrAs gives a distinct and bigger gap as compared to CoECrGa and CoECrGe, its EF is not located at the middle of the gap in the spin-down channel. We have also found that the total magnetic moments increase as the Z goes from Ga to As. The calculated density of states and band structures show the HMF character for CoECrGe and Co2CrGa.展开更多
