Heusler compounds are a large group of intermetallic compounds with over 1000 members
with similar crystal structures having a vast array of tunable properties. These properties …

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 …

Publisher Summary The discovery of the ferromagnetic (FM) Heusler alloy Cu 2 MnAl, in the
beginning of the twentieth century, made considerable impact in the field of magnetism …

Electrical spin injection from the Heusler alloy Co 2 MnGe into a pin Al 0.1 Ga 0.9 As∕ GaAs
light emitting diode is demonstrated. A maximum steady-state spin polarization of …

5% negative magnetoresistance (MR) at room temperature has been observed in bulk Ni 2+
x Mn 1− x Ga⁠. This indicates the possibility of using Ni 2+ x Mn 1− x Ga as magnetic …

The effect of spin-orbit coupling and orbital polarization (OP) corrections on the spin and
orbital magnetism of full Heusler alloys is investigated by means of local spin-density …

The underlying mechanisms responsible for the giant magnetic or mechanical field-induced-
strains in ferromagnetic shape memory alloys are briefly discussed based on a …

We found that Co 2 Fe Si layers on GaAs (001) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy with high
crystal and interface perfection as well as smooth surfaces can be obtained in the low …

Thin films of Co 2 MnSi have been grown on a-plane sapphire substrates from three
elemental targets by dc magnetron cosputtering. These films are single phase, have a strong …

The transformation behavior of Ni–Mn–Ga submicron polycrystalline thin films was
investigated with respect to target composition, different substrates, annealing temperature …
