Temperature-dependent charge transport in the compensated ferrimagnet Mn$_{1.5}$V$_{0.5}$FeAl from first principles

2017 
We present an ab-initio study of the temperature-dependent longitudinal and anomalous Hall resistivities in the compensated collinear ferrimagnet Mn$_{1.5}$V$_{0.5}$FeAl. Its transport properties are calculated using the general fully relativistic Kubo--Bastin formalism and their temperature dependency is accounted for magnetic and structural disorder. Both scattering sources, together with the residual chemical disorder, were treated equally provided by the CPA (Coherent Potential Approximation) SPR-KKR (Spin-Polarized Relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker) method. All calculated properties showed good agreement with a recent experimental results, providing useful specific information on the chemical and magnetic arrangement as well as on the influence of disorder. Finally, we demonstrated that the anomalous Hall effect in such compensated systems occurs regardless of the vanishing net spin moment.
