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 …

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 …

The class of Heusler compounds, including the XYZ and the X 2 YZ compounds, has not
only an endless number of members, but also a vast variety of properties can be found in …

A good field to develop new materials with half metallicity is the quaternary Heusler alloys.
The preferred route is to combine the compounds that have been already grown in Heusler …

Fully epitaxial current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistance (MR) devices with
half-metallic Co 2 MnSi (CMS) electrodes and a Ag spacer were fabricated to investigate the …

Fully epitaxial Co 2 Fe x Mn 1− x Si (CFMS)/Ag/Co 2 Fe x Mn 1− x Si current-perpendicular-
to-plane giant magnetoresistive devices with various Fe/Mn ratios x and top CFMS layer …

Current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistance (CPP-GMR) characteristics were
investigated in a Co 2 MnSi (CMS)/Ag/CMS fully epitaxial device and compared to those in a …

The influence of off-stoichiometry on the half-metallic character of quaternary Heusler alloy
thin films of Co 2 (Mn, Fe) Si (CMFS) was investigated by studying the composition …

X-ray diffraction (XRD), magnetometry, and ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements
were performed on sputtered thin films of the nominal Heusler alloy (Co 2 Mn) 1− x Ge x with …

We report the transport properties of a current-perpendicular-to-plane giant
magnetoresistance (CPP-GMR) device with Co 2 Fe (Al 0.5 Si 0.5)(CFAS) Heusler alloy …
