Three new Ag-based full-Heusler alloys: Ag2TiGa, Ag2VGa, and Ag2TiTl

A comparative study of physical and thermoelectrical characteristics of the new full‐Heusler alloys Ag2TiGa and Ag2VGa with ab initio calculations

“…However, the total density of states in this region is symmetrical, so Ag‐I, Ag‐II, and Ga contribute very little to magnetism. While the other energy interval between −2 and 4 eV, we can see that the TDOS of the Ag 2 VGa alloy for up spins is different from that for down spins, while the TDOS of the Ag 2 TiGa structure is symmetric, which suggests that the Ag 2 VGa alloy possesses good magnetic properties, in other words that the Ag 2 TiGa compound does not possess magnetic properties at room temperature and normal pressure [29]. Finally, the TDOS of both materials obtained by different methods at Fermi level confirms their metallic nature in the case of majority and minority spin.…”
