Abstract

Electronic structure and magnetic properties of Ti2MnSb Heusler alloy were computed using density functional theory implemented in WIEN2k code. The calculated magnetic moment at equilibrium lattice constant 6.33A was 2μB. Ti2MnSb shows a half metallic ferrimagnetic behavior with 0.77eV gap in the minority spin.
