Abstract

The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of TbMg were analyzed by using full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method. This intermetallic is stable in structure CsCl (B2 phase) with space group Pm-3m. In electronic properties, we show the electronic band structure and density of states plots. These plots show that this alloy have metallic character because there is no band gap between the valance band and conduction band at Fermi level. The structural properties, i.e. equilibrium lattice constant, bulk modulus and its pressure derivative, energy and volume show good agreement with available data. In this paper, we also present the total magnetic moment along with the magnetic moment on the atomic and interstitial sites of TbMg intermetallic in B2 phase.
