In recent years,with the rapid development of science and technology,new functional materials have been extensively studied.Half-metals are widely used in the field of spintronic devices because of their unique electronic structure?100%spin polarization?.The effect of C doping on the electronic structure and magnetic properties of Mn3Ge has been studied by first-principles calculations.The effect of anti-site disorder on the electronic structure and magnetic properties of Ti2VSb has also been studied.The related research of Mn3Ge is summarized as follows:1.It is found that the energy is the lowest when the C atom is in the center of the octahedron.In other words,when the C atom is at?0.5,0.5,0.25?,the doped structure is the most stable.2.We find that the total magnetic moment of Mn3GeCx firstly decreases and then gradually increases with the carbon concentration increasing.The magnetic compensation is realized in Mn3GeC0.4.3.We also find that the total magnetic moment of the multilayers formed by the bulk structure of Mn3GeC0.4.4 is not zero.The related research of Ti2VSb is summarized as follows:1.The effect of anti-site disorder on the electronic structure of Ti2VSb was studied.And Ti2VSb becomes a nearly fully compensated ferrimagnetic spin-gapless semiconductor when 25%content of Ti?A?atoms exchange their place with V atoms.2.The influence of tetragonal distortion on the electronic structure of Ti2VSb is studied.It is found that the electronic structure of Ti2VSb is sensitive to the tetragonal distortion and FCFS property can be maintained only when the c/a ratio is in the range of 0.951.04.When the c/a ratio is not in this range,Ti2VSb is firstly transformed into a fully compensated ferrimagnetic half-metal and then gradually transformed into a normal ferrimagnetic metal.
