Heusler compounds are a remarkable class of intermetallic materials with 1: 1: 1 (often
called Half-Heusler) or 2: 1: 1 composition comprising more than 1500 members. Today …

Heusler alloys are theoretically predicted to become half-metals at room temperature (RT).
The advantages of using these alloys are good lattice matching with major substrates, high …

Spintronics is one of the emerging research fields in nanotechnology and has been growing
very rapidly. Studies of spintronics were started after the discovery of giant …

Abstract Ferromagnetic Co2-Heusler compounds showing high spin polarization have been
utilized as spin injectors and detectors for III–V and Group-IV semiconductors. In this article …

This paper shows the correlation between chemical order, lattice strains, and magnetic

The next generation of magnetic memories requires an ideal spin-polarised electron source,
achievable by using a half-metallic Heusler-alloy film. For Heusler-alloy film implementation …

We have measured the spin injection efficiency and spin lifetime in Co 2 FeSi/n-GaAs lateral
nonlocal spin valves from 20 to 300 K. We observe large (∼ 40 μ V) spin valve signals at …
