Abstract

In this work we study the influence of supercell scaling on magnetic properties in Ni-Mn-X-Z alloys by means of ab initio calculations with the help of Quantum Espresso PWSCF package and the spin-polarized relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (SPR-KKR) code based on DFT approximation. It is shown that the supercell calculations for the equilibrium lattice parameter are coincided with the calculations for simple primitive lattice. The exchange parameters for Ni-Mn-X alloys obtained from supercell calculations are large than calculated for simple primitive lattice.
