摘要
A density functional ab initio method was applied to study the energies of formation, structural stabilities and magnetic ordering Of RMn2 Laves phases (R = Sc, Y, Lu, Ti, Zr, Hf). The calculated energies of formation are in agreement with available reliable experimental data. YMn2 is found to be strongly magnetic in accordance to experiment. Also for R = Sc, Lu, Zr, Hf we predict ordered magnetic ground state phases at low temperatures which were not found experimentally so far. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
