摘要
In this paper, a new quaternary full Heusler compound CrZrMnGa is obtained and systematically studied by first-principles calculations. The calculations show the majority spin is strongly metallic character, while the minority spin has an insulating behavior in its band structure. The compound has a precisely total magnetic moment of 2.00 mu (B) per formula by first-principles calculations. This result complies well with the generalized Slater-Pauling (SP) rule M (t) = Z (t) - 18. All the results show that CrZrMnGa with Hg2CuTi-type structure is a new half-metal ferromagnet by first-principles calculations.
