Investigation of Structural, Elastic, Electronic, Magnetic and Thermoelectric Proprieties for Mn2RhZ (Z = Al, Si and Ge) Full-Heusler Alloys

In this study, we investigated the structural, elastic, electronic, magnetic and thermoelectric properties of Mn 2 RhZ (Z = Al, Si and Ge) full Heusler alloy via the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. The calculated results reveal that the compound is more stable in the Hg 2 MnAl prototype into the ferromagnetic phase. The calculated elastic constants show that the compounds satisfy the criteria stability. Due to the strong correlation, we used also GGA-PBE to see the improvement of the electronic properties, the integer magnetic moment confirm the half-metallic behaviour of these compounds. Finally, the thermoelectric parameters are computed for 100 K–800 K temperature range to explore the potential of these compounds for applications in technological devices.
