Abstracts

EN

The UCoAs_{2} compound crystallizes in the tetragonal HfCuSi_{2} type structure with space group P4/nmm. The compound orders ferromagnetically at 150 K with a spontaneous magnetic moment of about 1.8 μ_B per formula unit. We present results of fully relativistic band structure calculations based on the full-potential local-orbital minimum-basis scheme (FPLO-5.10-20) and compare magnetic moments obtained from calculations without and with orbital polarization corrections. The magnetic behavior of the Co atoms remains unknown.
