Doping-induced enhancement of Curie temperature in Zn2Ru1−xAxMn (A = Ti, Mn, Co, Zr, and Rh) Heusler alloys: An ab initio investigation
This study examines the structural stability, electronic, and magnetic properties of off-stoichiometric Zn2Ru1−xAxMn Heusler alloys (with, A = Ti, Mn, Co, Zr, and Rh) using first-principles calculations. We find that the L21 phase is more stable than the XA phase across both ordered and disordered configurations. The variations in lattice parameters with off-stoichiometry are attributed to the atomic radii of the dopants. Our results indicate that Zn2Ru1−xAxMn alloys exhibit ferromagnetic metallic behavior, driven primarily by Mn-Mn, Ru-Mn, and A-Mn exchange interactions. These interactions are further analyzed to calculate the Curie temperature using the mean-field approximation. The Curie temperature for Zn2RuMn is found to be approximately 300 K, which increases to 428 K upon Co doping. Our findings suggest that doping provides a means to control the Curie temperature, offering substantial potential for applications in room-temperature magnetocaloric materials and shape memory alloys. This tunability enhances the functional versatility of these alloys, making them promising candidates for future technological applications.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
