Abstract: In this paper, we first study the $alpha-$energy functional, Euler-Lagrange operator and $alpha$-stress energy tensor. Second, it is shown that the critical points of $alpha-$ energy functional are explicitly related to harmonic maps through conformal deformation. In addition, an $alpha-$harmonic map is constructed from any smooth map between Riemannian manifolds under certain assumptions. Next, we determine the conditions under which the fibers of horizontally conformal $alpha-$ harmonic maps are minimal submanifolds. Then, the stability of any $alpha-$harmonic map from a Riemannian manifold to a Riemannian manifold with non-positive Riemannian curvature is demonstrated. Finally, the instability of $alpha-$harmonic maps from a compact manifold to a standard unit sphere is investigated.
