“…The Ru atom plays a pivotal role mainly within -4 to 2 eV energy ranges as shown. The dominance of Cr atom is near the Fermi level in spin down and spin up which is consistent with the reported results [36,37]. The lump of states at Fermi level show the metallic nature with respect to density of states [38].…”

“…The calculated optical parameters predict the greater absorption, stronger reflectivity and maximum optical conductivity within the incident energy range of (2-7) eV. Moreover, the negligible reflectivity and conductivity in (27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40) eV energy range has been seen. Consequently our half Heusler alloys can be used in different sensors, reflectors, transmitters and optoelectronic devices in the mentioned energy range.…”

This paper contains the comparative study of elastic, mechanical, electronic and optical response of RuCrX (X = Si, Ge, Sn). Three independent second order elastic constants are computed and elasto-mechanical stability is checked. Mechanical parameters depicts the flexible and ductile nature. These materials are hard and stiffer, difficult to compress and have an excellent bond stretching minimization phenomenon. The higher melting temperatures make them candidate for the high temperature environment like aerospace and construction industries. The band gap and density of states study reveal the non-magnetic metallic nature of all these alloys. In addition, the Fermi surfaces are also calculated. The imaginary part of dielectric response function confirms the utility in opto-electronic devices and sensors.

Investigation of structural, dynamical, mechanical, electronic and thermodynamic properties of RuYAs (Y = Cr and Fe) alloys have been performed from the first principle calculations. Among the three structural phases, ‘α’ phase is found to be energetically favorable for both the RuCrAs and RuFeAs compounds. The computed cohesive energies and phonon dispersion spectra indicate the structural and dynamical stabilities of both the compounds. Mechanical stability of these compounds are studied using elastic constants. The Pugh’s ratio predicts RuFeAs to be more ductile than RuCrAs. The RuCrAs alloy, on the other hand, is found to be a stiffer, harder and highly rigid crystal with stronger bonding forces than the RuFeAs. Furthermore, the thermodynamical properties have also been estimated with respect to the temperature under different pressures using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. In order to account for the effect of the highly correlated d transition elements in the system we incorporated the GGA + U approximations. Within the GGA + U approach, the electronic structure reveals the half-metallicity for both compounds, which follows the Slater–Pauling rule. The charge density and electron localized function reflect the covalent bonding among the constituent atoms. Bader analysis reveals that the charge transfer takes place from Cr/Fe to Ru and As atoms in both approximations. Both Raman and infrared active modes have been identified in the compounds.

“…The data shows three strong peaks around 45°, 65°a nd 83°, corresponding to [220], [400] and [422] Bragg reflection of Co 2 FeSn Heulser compound [21,23,26,27]. These three reflections are well known to prominently appear in Co 2 FeX (X is an sp-element) type of FHAs [13,17,28,29]. The small peak at around 31°corresponds to [200] Bragg reflection.…”

“…The small peak at around 31°corresponds to [200] Bragg reflection. The [200] reflection is missing in case of disordered A2-type phase but appears when there is either a B2 or L2 1 type of ordering [13,[28][29][30]. In case of L2 1 type of ordering [111] reflection is additionally observed.…”

Heusler compound nanoparticles with good structural ordering need to be investigated as a potential material class for magneto-thermal applications requiring heat generation in presence of an oscillating magnetic field. Here, we report an important finding of a structural parameter related to the product of the strain and the coherent crystallite size, that can be used to efficiently control the structural ordering and the magnetic property of the Heulser compound nanoparticles. The optimization of this product parameter is found to enhance both the structural ordering and magnetic transition temperature in Co2FeSn Heusler nanoparticles. Furthermore, using magnetic hyperthermia measurements we demonstrate the possibility of heat generation using Heusler compound nanoparticles comparable to that of conventional magnetic nanoparticles. This shall lead to the development of Heulser compounds for similar applications.
