An overview of both experimental and theoretical results in the field of resonant scattering of
tunable soft and hard x-ray radiation is presented, with a main focus on the closely related …

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

We study the origin of the gap and the role of chemical composition in the half-ferromagnetic
Heusler alloys using the full-potential screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method. In the …

Abstract Quaternary Heusler alloys Co 2 Cr 1− x Fe x Al with varying Cr to Fe ratio x were
investigated experimentally and theoretically. The electronic structure and spectroscopic …

Abstract The doped Heusler compounds Co 2 Cr 1− x Fe x Al with varying Cr to Fe ratio x
were investigated experimentally and theoretically. The electronic structure of the ordered …

The magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) of core-level absorption (x-ray absorption
spectroscopy, XAS) spectra in the soft x-ray region has been measured for the ferromagnetic …

Spintronics/magnetoelectronics brought at the center of scientific research the Heusler and
full-Heusler compounds, since several among them have been shown to be half-metals. In …

Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the L 2, 3 edges of 3d transition metal
compounds has recently become a high resolution spectroscopic technique thanks to …

Orbital and spin magnetic moments of the Heusler compounds Co 2 FeAl and Co 2 Cr 0.6
Fe 0.4 Al were measured by magnetic circular dichroism in X-ray absorption (XMCD). The …

This volume provides a detailed treatment of half-metallic materials and their properties from
both an experimental and theoretical point of view. It discusses the methods used to …
