Abstract

We study the dependence of magnetic interactions and Curie temperature in Ni(1+x)MnSb system on the Ni concentration within the framework of the density-functional theory. The calculation of the exchange parameters is based on the super-cell and frozen-magnon approaches. The Curie temperatures, TC, are calculated within the random-phase approximation. In agreement with experiment we obtain decrease of the Curie temperature with increasing Ni content.
