Dopings in the transition-metal aluminides OsAl2 to obtain materials with high spin polarization: A first-principles study

The doping effects of 3d transition metals on the magnetic properties of Os1 − xCrxAl2 are studied by first-principles calculations. The Os1 − xCrxAl2 alloys have high spin-polarizations at the Fermi level with the Cr concentration in the range of 0.0
