摘要
A series of full-Heusler based on rare earth Ag2YB (Y = Nd, Sm, Gd) are studied by linearized augmented plane waves with total potential (FP-LAPW) method. We have investigated the structural and elastic properties with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) using Perdew-Burke-Ernzehrof parameterization for electron exchange and correlation. We have found that our three compounds are stable in AlCu2Mn-type structure (FM) states that are ductile and anisotropic at equilibrium state. The lattice parameters, elastic constants, and their associated parameters are compared with other available experimental and theoretical results. The electronic and magnetic properties are studied with GGA and GGA + U approximations. Based on the quasi-harmonic Debye model, we have studied the variation of heat capacity and coefficient of thermal expansion as a function of temperature.
