Using the first-principles density functional theory calculations, we examined effect of uniaxial strain on electronic and magnetic properties full-Heusler alloy N2SrRb. Our results show that N2SrRb is a ferromagnetic alloy, it exhibits half metallic with 100% spin polarisation when no applied. The half-metallic were retained under ranges tensile compressive flip gap was found to increase as increases, while decreases increases. mechanical mechanically stable having ductile characteristics
