The present article has utilized the WIEN2k computational code to examine the structural, elastic, electronic, magnetic, thermoelectric, and dynamic aspects of the CoCrS Half-Heusler (HH) compound. In this work, calculations have been performed by utilizing the fullpotential linearized augmented plane wave method using density functional theory. The electronic bandgap was better interpreted by using the modified Becke–Johnson exchange–correlation functional. We evaluated various electronic properties of the CoCrS HH compound, including band structure plots and density of states. Furthermore, we examined the magnetic characteristics through the computation of magnetic moments and the examination of the spin-polarized electronic state behavior. We also determined the elastic properties of the CoCrS HH compound. These properties, which include stiffness, resilience, and general stability, provide important information about how the material responds to mechanical deformation. Moreover, we explored the electronic structure and found that type 5 of CoCrS exhibits a metallic behavior. In addition, we examined the compound’s thermoelectric properties. Finally, the dynamical properties indicate that type 5 of CoCrS is dynamically stable.
