In this study, we use the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the framework of density functional theory combined with ab-initio calculations with hybrid exchange-correlation functional to determine the structure and investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of zinc-blende MnAuSn alloy. The magnetic state is confirmed to be the most stable configuration using the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Our spin-polarized band structure simulations indicate that the material exhibits half-metallic behavior. The complex interplay affecting the magnetic and electronic properties is mainly attributed to the hybridization between the Mn-d, Au-f and Sn-p states, which leads to the observed spin polarization. MnAuSn shows traits of a half-metallic ferromagnet, as evidenced by a calculated total magnetic moment of 4 B. Grasping these properties is crucial for leveraging the unique features of these material in future technological applications, such as spintronic devices. |
