Ab initio investigation of Fe substitution effect on magnetostructural transition of CoMnGe

First-principles calculations for the ferromagnetic systems (Co,Fe)MnGe and Co(Mn,Fe)Ge show the hexagonal cell volume decreases as an amount of Fe increases mainly because of the reduction of the lattice constant c. The Fe substitution produces a reduction in the distance between adjacent atoms alo...
