摘要：
Structural, electronic and magnetic properties in the bulk and five different (001) surfaces (ZrV-, ZrSn-, W-, ZrZr- and SnSn-terminations) of Zr2VSn Heusler alloy with Hg2CuTi-type structure are studied by using first -principles calculations based on density -functional theory. The bulk Zr2VSn Heusler alloy is ferrimagnetic half-metallicity with equilibrium lattice constant 6.815 angstrom and total magnetic moment -1.000 mu(B)/f.u., following the Slater-Pauling rule mu(t) = Z(t) - 18. The atoms on different surface layers exhibit different displacements, electronic and magnetic properties. All five (001) surfaces lose the halfmetallicity and are not usable in spintronics devices.
