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 …

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 …

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 …

Half-Heusler compounds are an impressive class of materials with a huge potential for
different applications such as future energy applications and for spintronics. The …

A review of new developments in theoretical and experimental electronic-structure
investigations of half-metallic ferromagnets (HMFs) is presented. Being semiconductors for …

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 origin of the gap and the role of chemical composition in the half-ferromagnetic
Heusler alloys using the full-potential screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method. In the …

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 …

In this work a simple concept was used for a systematic search for materials with high spin
polarization. It is based on two semiempirical models. First, the Slater-Pauling rule was used …

This book, in the broadest sense, is an application of quantum mechanics and statistical
mechanics to the field of magnetism. Under certain well described conditions, an immensely …
