The cubic rare-earth intermetallics RIn3 and RSn3 (R = La, Ce, Pr, Nd) have been investigated using the full potential linearized augmented plane waves plus local orbital method in the density functional theory framework.

We report the estimation of muon sites inside Mn3Sn using density functional theory based on the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) calculation. Our calculation shows that the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) Generalized-Gradient Approximation (GGA) functional is closer to the experimental structure compared to the von Barth-Hedin Local Density Approximation (LDA)-optimized geometry. The PBE GGA is therefore subsequently used in FLAPW post-calculation for the electrostatic potential calculation to find the local minima position as a guiding strategy for estimating the muon site. Our result reveals at least two muon sites of which one is placed at the center between two Mn-Sn triangular layers (A site) and the other at the trigonal prismatic site of Sn atom (B site). The total energy of Mn3Sn system in the presence of muon at A site or B site are compared and we find that A site is a more favorable site for muon to stop.

ABSTRACTFirst-principles calculations are presented for various native point defects in ZnGeP2 us-ing a full-potential linearized muffin-tin orbital method in the local density approximation to density functional theory. Under Zn-poor conditions, the lowest Gibbs energy defects are found to be the Gezn antisite and Vzn. The Vae is found to have high energy of formation under any chemical potential conditions and is unstable towards formation of a Vzn and ZnGe pair. It is shown that the V−Zn cannot account for the ALI EPR spectrum commonly associated with this vacancy and an alternative model consisting of a Vzn – GeZn – Vzn is tentatively proposed.
