By employing the spin resolved density functional theory, half-metallic character is investigated in Cs2NpBr6 having a K2PtCl6-type structure. The results precisely predict the half-metallic behavior of Cs2NpBr6. In spin-down state it presents an indirect band gap, while in spin-up channel it tus metallic. The structure optimization confirms the half-metallic nature in ferromagnetic configuration. The calculated magnetic moment is 3 μB toward which the main contributor is the Np atom. Furthermore, all the computed results are compared with the available experimental and theoretical values. According to the present analysis, we recommend Cs2NpBr6 for spintronic applications.
