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 structural, magnetic, electronic, elastic and mechanical properties of full-Heusler
compounds Co 2 YAl (Y= Fe, Ti), in L2 1 type structure are determined using the density …

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 …

Spintronics is a multidisciplinary field involving physics, chemistry, and engineering, and is a
new research area for solid‐state scientists. A variety of new materials must be found to …

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 …

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 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 …

Giant tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratios of up to 1995% at 4.2 K and up to 354% at 290
K were obtained for epitaxial Co 2 MnSi/MgO/Co 2 MnSi magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) …

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 …
