We present study of quaternary Heusler alloy CoFeMnGe using density functional theory. The compound is half-metallic with half-metallic gap of 0.13 eV. The total magnetic moment of this compound is 3.96 μ{sub B} which is in close agreement with Slater-Pauling rule. The effect of lattice compression and expansion shows the robustness of half-metallicity. A large value of half-metallic gap and 100% spin-polarization makes this material interesting for spin dependent applications.
