Abstract
The WIEN2k software package was employed to investigate the structural, electronic, magnetic, and elastic characteristics of Fe2MnIn and Au2MnIn full Heusler alloys. This analysis utilized the full Potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method, which is rooted in density functional theory (DFT).
The equilibrium structural parameters were deduced through the implementation of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation potential (εxc). Additionally, for enhanced numerical accuracy in calculating band gap energies, the modified Becke-Johnson (mBJ) potential was incorporated.
The magnetic property calculations show that normal and inverse Fe2MnIn and Au2MnIn alloys are ferromagnetic. Furthermore, normal Fe2MnIn and inverse Au2MnIn are mechanically unstable, while normal Au2MnIn and inverse Fe2MnIn are mechanically stable, and both have a ductile nature with ionic bonds.
