Abstract
We consider two cobalt-based full-Heusler compounds, CoFeTiAl and Co2FeSi, for which Coulomb correlation effects play an important role. Since the standard GGA scheme does not provide a precise description of the electronic properties near the Fermi level, we use a meta-GGA functional capable to improve the description of the electronic properties of CoFeTiAl and Co2FeSi. In particular, we find a better agreement with the experiment for the magnetic moment and the energy bandgap. Moreover, our calculations show that pressure enhances the insulating properties of Co2FeSi and CoTiFeAl.
