摘 要：We have calculated the electronic structures of Co2FeAl1-xSix（101） surface using first-principles method based on the density functional theory. Because of the surface effect, the minority spin band gap at the Fermi level disappears at the surface of bulk Co2FeAl1-xSix. However, beneath the surface, the minority spin gap opens at the Fermi level, which indicates that the electronic structures of Co2FeAl1-xSix（101） become close to that of bulk phase. Accordingly, the Co2FeAl1-xSix（101） surface is a composite tri-layer structure that corresponds to the weakening of half-metallic property in Co2FeAl1-xSix films. Even though, the spin polarization of Co2FeAl1-xSix（101） surface is still larger than that of Co2FeAl or Co2FeSi materials, making Co2FeAl1-xSix a promising spintronics material.
