摘要
Co2FeSi Heusler alloys have attracted a lot of attention due to their interesting properties for various technological applications. In this study, we present the results of ab-initio calculations of the electronic, structural and magnetic properties using generalized gradient approximations (GGA and GGA + U). The energies obtained from GGA are used to calculate the magnetic coupling and establish an effective Hamiltonian. Additionally, we utilized mean-field theory and Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate physical properties such as magnetization, susceptibility and critical exponent of the material from the effective Hamiltonian. The results indicate that Co2FeSi, which exhibits a half-metallic behaviour, may be suitable for use in spintronic applications.
