摘要：

On the basis of the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method within density functional theory (DFT), electronic structure and magnetic properties of Heusler alloys NaTO2 (T = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, and Mn) were investigated. The negative values of formation energy showed that these compounds can be experimentally synthesized. Results showed that in all compounds, AlCu2Mn-type structure was the most favorable one. The NaTO2 (T = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, and Mn) alloys were HM ferromagnets except NaScO2 (in both structures which were nonmagnetic semiconductors) and NaVO2 (in AlCu2Mn-type structure which was a magnetic semiconductor). The origin of half-metallicity was also verified in HM alloys. NaCrO2 and NaVO2 alloys had higher half-metallic band gaps in comparison with Heusler alloys including and excluding transition metals. The total magnetic moments of HM NaTO2 (T = Ti, V, Cr, and Mn) alloys obeyed Slater-Pauling rule (Mtot = Ztot-12). Among NaTO2 (T = Sc, Ti, V, Cr, and Mn) alloys, NaCrO2 had the highest robustness of half-metallicity with variation of lattice constant in both structures.
