| dc.description.abstract | The intrinsic and modified properties of Heusler alloys are of great
importance for technological applications, particularly in spintronic devices. In
this context, the present work provides a general and concise overview of the
physical properties of the Heusler alloy Co₂CrSn. These properties were
investigated using the FP-LAPW method implemented in the WIEN2k
computational code, which is based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). The
study employed the GGA-PBE approximation as well as the semi-empirical
modified Becke–Johnson potential (TB-mBJ).
The structural and magnetic results revealed that the studied compound
favors the Cu₂MnAl-type structure in a ferromagnetic state. Additionally, the
mechanical properties were examined and showed that the material exhibits
ductility and anisotropic behavior. This detailed study highlights Co₂CrSn as
a promising candidate for spintronic device applications. | en_US |
