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 …

Spintronic is a multidisciplinary field and a new research area. New materials must be found
for satisfying the different types of demands. The search for stable half-metallic ferromagnets …

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 …

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 …

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 half‐metallic character of new quaternary Heusler alloys CoXMnAs (X= Ru, Rh) is
established along with their thermoelectric, mechanical, and thermodynamic properties. The …

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 …

Using a full-potential ab initio technique I study the electronic and magnetic properties of the
(001) surfaces of the half-Heusler alloys NiMnSb, CoMnSb and PtMnSb and of the full …

Single-crystalline Co 2 MnSi Heusler alloy films have been grown on GaAs (001) substrates
by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The best crystallographic quality of the Co 2 MnSi films …

We have studied the stability, the electronic, and the magnetic properties of C o 2 M n S i
(001) thin films for 15 different terminations using density functional theory calculations. The …
