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 …

Half-metallic ferromagnetic (HMF) materials show high spin polarization and are therefore
interesting to researchers due to their possible applications in spintronic devices. In these …

Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with a stacking structure of Co 2 Mn Si∕ Al–O∕ Co 2 Mn
Si were fabricated using magnetron sputtering system. Fabricated MTJ exhibited an …

Giant tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratios of up to 1995% at 4.2 K and up to 354% at 290
