Abstract

The structural, electronic, elastic and magnetic properties of CoCrScIn were investigated using first principle calculations with applying the full-potential linearized augmented plane waves (FP-LAPW) method, based totally on the density functional theory (DFT). After evaluating the results, the calculated structural parameters reveal that CoCrScIn compound is stable in its ferrimagnetic configuration of the type-III structure. The mechanical properties show its brittle and stiffer behavior. The formation energy value showed that CoCrScIn can be experimentally synthesized. Additionally, the obtained band structures and density of states (DOS) reflect the half-metallic behavior of CoCrScIn, with an indirect bandgap of 0.43[Formula: see text]eV. The total magnetic moment of 3[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] and half-metallic ferrimagnetic state are maintained in the range 5.73–6,79 Å. The magnetic moment especially issues from the Cr-[Formula: see text] and Co-[Formula: see text] spin-polarizations. Furthermore, the calculations of Curie temperature reveal that CoCrScIn has high magnetic transition temperature of 836.7[Formula: see text]K.
