摘要
The full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method based on the density functional theory is used to investigate the structural, magnetic and half-metallic properties of the CsSe compound in the CsCl-type, NaCl-type, ZnS-type, NiAs-type and wurtzite structures. The results show that the ferromagnetic ground state of the CsSe compound is the most stable with CsCl-type structure with a total magnetic moment of 1 mu(B)/f.u. although this compound does not include transition metal atoms. The CsSe compound is half-metallic ferromagnet for all types of structure. The half-metallic band gap is about 3.5 eV for all types of structure. The Curie temperature is estimated to be 390 K in the mean field approximation (MFA). (C) 2015 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
