Structural, thermodynamic, magnetic, electronic, and mechanical properties of the hexagonal Mn3Ir: An ab initio study

The current study has employed ab initio density functional theory (DFT) simulations to investigate the thermodynamic, magnetic, electronic, and mechanical behaviour of the hexagonal ordered P63/mmc- Mn3Ir alloy at 0 K. This material is highly desirable for application in spintronic devices due to t...

description The current study has employed ab initio density functional theory (DFT) simulations to investigate the thermodynamic, magnetic, electronic, and mechanical behaviour of the hexagonal ordered P63/mmc- Mn3Ir alloy at 0 K. This material is highly desirable for application in spintronic devices due to the intrinsic spin Hall effect (SHE). Our results showed that Mn3Ir is thermodynamically and mechanically stable at 0 K. Moreover, it possesses zero magnetic moment which may lead to a high anomalous Hall effect, high permeability and low intrinsic coercivity.
