This review describes a new paradigm of electronics based on the spin degree of freedom of
the electron. Either adding the spin degree of freedom to conventional charge-based …

A review of new developments in theoretical and experimental electronic-structure
investigations of half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs) is presented. Being semiconductors for …

Spintronics is one of the most promising next generation information technology, which uses
the spins of electrons as information carriers and possesses potential advantages of …

Intermetallic Heusler alloys are amongst the most attractive half-metallic systems due to their
high Curie temperatures and their structural similarity to binary semiconductors. In this …

We report on the high-temperature ferromagnetism in Co-doped ZnO films fabricated by the
sol–gel method above 350 K. The lattice constant of c axis of wurtzite Zn 1− x Co x O follows …

Nanotechnology, science, and engineering spearhead the 21st century revolution that is
leading to fundamental breakthroughs in the way materials, devices, and systems are …

An accurate density-functional method is used to study systematically half-metallic
ferromagnetism and stability of zincblende phases of 3 d–transition-metal chalcogenides …

We report systematic first-principles calculations for ordered zinc-blende compounds of the
transition metal elements V, Cr, and Mn with the sp elements N, P, As, Sb, S, Se, and Te …

Using the first-principles full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method based on
density functional theory, we have investigated the electronic structure and magnetism of …

It is predicted with the accurate full-potential density-functional method that the zinc blende
(ZB) CrSb phase is a robust half-metallic (HM) ferromagnet with a magnetic moment of 3.000 …
