Spintronics is an emergent interdisciplinary topic for the studies of spin-based, other than or
in addition to charge-only-based physical phenomena. Since the discovery of giant …

Using the full-potential screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method we study the full-Heusler
alloys based on Co, Fe, Rh, and Ru. We show that many of these compounds show a half …

Recent advances in thin-film deposition techniques, such as molecular beam epitaxy and
pulsed laser deposition, have allowed for the manufacture of heterostructures with nearly …

We investigate the atomic disorder effects on the half-metallicity of the full-Heusler alloy Co 2
(Cr 1− x Fe x) Al from first principles by using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method with the …

Heusler alloys, such as Co 2 MnSi and Co 2 MnGe, have been predicted from first–
principles to be half metallic and potential candidates for spintronic applications. However …

The interatomic exchange interactions and Curie temperatures in Ni-based full Heusler
alloys Ni 2 Mn X with X= Ga, In, Sn, and Sb are studied within the framework of the density …

We report on structural, magnetic, transport, and spin-polarization measurements of the
Heusler alloys Co 2 MnSi and NiMnSb. Laue diffraction patterns confirm the single-crystal …

Half-metallic ferromagnets, such as the Heusler compounds with formula X 2 YZ, are
expected to show an integer value for the spin magnetic moment. In contrast to experiments …

Abstract The Heusler alloy Co 2 MnSi is predicted to be a half-metallic ferromagnet and thus
is considered a promising candidate for incorporation into spintronic devices. Recent …

By means of density functional calculations, the magnetic and electronic properties and
phase stabilities of the Heusler compounds Co 2 M Si (with M= Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni⁠) …
