Abstract

We report band structural calculations on half-Heusler alloy CoTiSi using Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker method applied for various formalism of potential. Murnaghan equation of state is used to minimize ground state total energy and then equilibrium lattice parameter is estimated. From density of state (DOS), it is seen that the Fermi energy is not lying in the gap and a close inspection of DOSs at the Fermi level reveals the absence of gap around the Fermi level suggesting the absence of half-metallic nature and the same is also confirmed by electronic band structure diagram.
