Density functional study of elastic and vibrational properties of the Heusler-type alloys Fe${}_2$VAl and Fe${}_2$VGa

V. Kanchana, G. Vaitheeswaran, Yanming Ma +3

The structural and elastic properties as well as phonon-dispersion relations of the Heusler-type alloys Fe${}_2$VAl and Fe${}_2$VGa are computed using density-functional and density-fu…
