| dc.description | Using first-principles density functional calculations, we study the possible phases of CeMnNi$_{4}$ and show that the ground state is ferromagnetic. We observed the hexagonal phase to be lowest in energy whereas experimentally observed cubic phase lies slightly higher in energy. We optimized the structure in both phases and in all different magnetic states to explore the possibility of the structural and magnetic phase transitions at ground state. We do not find any phase transitions between the magnetic and non-magnetic phases. The calculated structural, magnetic properties of cubic phase are in excellent agreement with experiments. Further, we do not observe half metallic behavior in any of the phases. However, the cubic phase does have fewer density of states for down-spin component giving a possibility of forming half metallic phase artificially, introducing vacancies, and disorder in lattice. | |
