In this work, we provide important insights into the evolution of half-metallicity in quaternary Heusler alloys. Employing {\it ab initio} electronic structure methods we study 18 quaternary Heusler compounds having the chemical formula…
We review the electronic and magnetic properties of the quinternary full Heusler alloys of the type Co$_2$[Cr$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$][Al$_{1-y}$Si$_y$] employing three different approaches : (i) the coherent potential approximation (CPA), (ii) the…
We investigate the electronic structure and magnetic properties of four quaternary Heusler alloys ZrMnVZ and ZrCoFeZ (Z=Si, Ge) by using first-principle calculations. It is shown that ZrMnVSi, ZrMnVGe and ZrCoFeSi are half-metallic…
Employing {\it ab initio} electronic structure calculations we extensively study ternary Heusler compounds having the chemical formula X$_2$X$^\prime$Z, where X = Mn, Fe or Co; Z = Al or Si; and X$^\prime$ changes along the row of 4$d$…
Half-metallic ferromagnetic (HMF) materials show high spin polarization and are therefore interesting to researchers due to their possible applications in spintronic devices. In these materials, while one spin sub band has a finite density…

Heusler compounds offer potential as spintronic devices due to their spin-polarization and half-metallicity properties, where electron spin-majority (minority) manifold exhibits states (band gap) at the electronic chemical potential,…
Parameters of the energy gap and, consequently, electronic, magnetic and galvanomagnetic properties in different X$_2$YZ Heusler alloys can vary quite strongly. In particular, half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs) and spin gapless…
Using the full-potential screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method we study the full-Heusler alloys based on Co, Fe, Rh and Ru. We show that many of these compounds show a half-metallic behavior, however in contrast to the half-Heusler alloys…
I report systematic first-principle calculations of the quaternary Heusler alloys like Co$_2$[Cr$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$]Al, Co$_2$Mn[Al$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$] and [Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$]$_2$MnAl. I show that when the two limiting cases (x=0 or 1) correspond to a…
