The electronic and magnetic properties of the ZrFeTiAl, ZrFeTiSi, ZrFeTiGe and ZrNiTiAl quaternary Hensler compounds have been investigated using first-principles calculations. Our calculations predict that ZrFeTiAl, ZrFeTiSi, ZrFeTiGe and ZrNiTiAl are half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs) with a magnetic moment of 1, 2, 2, 3 mu(B)/fu and HM flip gaps of 0.56, 0.92, 0.86 and 0.65 eV, respectively. Our calculations show that these compounds are candidate materials for future spintronic applications. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
