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 …

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 …

In this paper, results of ab initio band structure calculations for A 2 BC Heusler compounds
that have A and B sites occupied by transition metals and C by a main group element are …

We study the electronic structures and magnetic properties of Mn 2 Co Z (Z= Al, Ga, In, Si,
Ge, Sn, Sb) compounds with Hg 2 Cu Ti-type structure using first-principles full-potential …

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 …

This paper reports on the bulk properties of the quaternary Heusler alloy Co 2 Mn 1− x Fe x
Si with the Fe concentration x= 0, 1∕ 2, 1. All samples, which were prepared by arc melting …

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 …

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 …

Spin-polarized light sources are a new class of devices in which the radiative recombination
of spin-polarized carriers results in luminescence exhibiting a net circular polarization. The …
