The structural, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of the full-Heusler compounds Co2MnZ (where Z = As, Al, Sb, and Sn) have been studied using the Perdew Burke Ernzerhof (PBE) exchange correlation functional of the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) and the ultra soft pseudo potential USP plane wave based on density functional theory (DFT). The results demonstrate that both compounds have a cubic structure and are in a stable condition. The mechanical stability requirements are also satisfied by the computed elastic constants. In comparison to their antiferromagnetic or nonmagnetic phases, these compounds' ferromagnetic phases exhibit greater stability due to their type's most stable structure. There are four interpenetrating fcc sub lattices in this structure. Of which two are part of the same element. An unique special class of materials described by heusler is lie at the edge of compounds and alloys, but combining the features of both.
