First-principles calculation of the effects of tetragonal distortions on the Gilbert damping parameter of Co2MnSi

We present an ab initio study of the influence of the tetragonal distortion, on the static and dynamic (Gilbert damping parameter) magnetic properties of a Co2MnSi crystal. This tetragonal distortion can for instance be due to strain, when Co2MnSi is grown on a substrate with a small lattice mismatc...
