Description

Electronic and magnetic properties of Ru2VGe and Ru2VSb have been investigated by ab-initio. The optimized equilibrium lattice parameters were found to be 6.032 Å for Ru2VGe and 6.272 Å for Ru2VSb. Both the materials have ferromagnetic ground states and V mainly contributes to the magnetic properties in these materials. The highly spin-polarized half-metallic materials have integral magnetic moments of 1.0 µB for Ru2VGe and 2.0 µB for Ru2VSb with an energy gap of 0.095 eV for Ru2VGe and 0.186 eV for Ru2VSb in the spin-down channel
