| Abstract | A first-principles study of the electronic and superconducting properties of the Ni2VAl Heusler compound is presented. The electron-phonon coupling constant of λ(ep)=0.68 is obtained, which leads to a superconducting transition temperature of Tc = ~ 4K (assuming a Coulomb pseudopotential µ(*)=0.13), which is a relatively high transition temperature for Ni based Heusler alloys. The electronic density of states reveals a significant hybridization between Ni-eg and V-t(2g) states around the Fermi level. The Fermi surface, consisting of two electron pockets around the X-points of the Brillouin zone, exhibits nesting and leads to a Kohn anomaly of the phonon dispersion relation for the transverse acoustic mode TA2 along the (1, 1, 0) direction, which is furthermore found to soften with pressure. As a consequence, T(c) and λ(ep) vary non-monotonically under pressure. The calculations are compared to similar calculations performed for the Ni2NbX (X = Al, Ga and Sn) Heusler alloys, which experimentally have been identified as superconductors. The experimental trend in T(c) is well reproduced, and reasonable quantitative agreement is obtained. The calculated T(c) of Ni2VAl is larger than either calculated or observed T(c)s of any of the Nb compounds. The Fermi surfaces of Ni2NbAl and Ni2NbGa consist of only a single electron pocket around the X point, however under compression a second electron pocket similar to that of Ni2VAl emerges Ni2NbAl and the T(c) increases non-monotonically in all the compounds. Fermi surface nesting and associated Kohn anomalies are a common feature of all four compounds, albeit weakest in Ni2VAl. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
