A series of full-Heusler based on rare earth Ag2YB (Y = Nd, Sm, Gd) are studied by linearized augmented plane waves with total potential (FP-LAPW) method. We have investigated the structural and elastic properties with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) using Perdew–Burke–Ernzehrof parameteriz...
