Using the first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT), we investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of (100) surface of inverse Heusler alloy Mn2CoSb with five different terminations. Our work reveals that the surface Mn atom moves to vacuum while surface Co atom moves to slab. Moreover, duo to the reason that the surface atom lost half of the nearest atoms with respect to the bulk phase, resulting in the decrease of hybridization, the atom-resolved spin magnetic moments of surface atoms are enhanced. Further investigation on DOS and PDOS showed that half-metallicity was preserved only in SbSb-termination while was destroyed in MnCo-, MnSb-, MnMn-, and CoCo-termination due to the appearance of surface states.

We present first-principles calculations of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Gd-doped [Formula: see text] based on the density functional theory within [Formula: see text] schemes. It is found that Gd atom favors substituting for Al site. Compared with undoped [Formula: see text], the Gd-doped [Formula: see text] has become an indirect band gap semiconductor of reduced band gap. The magnetic moment [Formula: see text] per molecule mainly comes from Gd ion with little contribution from the Ga, Al and N atoms. It is confirmed that the ferromagnetic configuration is stable for [Formula: see text]. It is found also that there is hybridization between the forbital of the Gd atom and the [Formula: see text] orbital of the N atom.

The magnetic properties of the perovskite manganites LaMnO3(LMO) and La2/3Al1/3MnO3(LAMO) was presented. The calculations were made within density functional theory and generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) exchange correlations energy. It was found that LAMO exhibit magnetic properties and stabilizes in antiferromagnetic structure. However cell magnetization and magnetic moments reduce with inclusion of Al dopant.
