Abstract

The WIEN2K package based on the density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and GGA plus Hubbard parameter was applied to explore the structural, electronic, magnetic properties and topological phase of CeNiSb bulk and nano-layer (NL), in the presence of spin orbit coupling. Also the topological phase, band order and the linear coefficient of electronic specific heat of CeNiSb bulk and nano-layer are studied. The electronic charge distribution at this nano-layer surface, within GGA and GGA + U approaches, is calculated. © 2019, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science.
