Half-metals are particular ferromagnetic materials which can be considered as hybrids
between metals and semiconductors. A particular feature of these materials is that electrons …

Spintronics/magnetoelectronics brought at the center of scientific research the Heusler and
full-Heusler compounds, since several among them have been shown to be half-metals. In …

Cylindrical nanowires made of Co2FeSn Heusler alloy with high spin polarization have
been synthetized via template-assisted electrochemical deposition in nanoporous anodic …

Few books exist that cover the hot field of second-generation spintronic devices, despite
their potential to revolutionize the IT industry. Compiling the obstacles and progress of spin …

This volume provides a detailed treatment of half-metallic materials and their properties from
both an experimental and theoretical point of view. It discusses the methods used to …

The transition metal (TM) chalcogenides of the form TMX 2 (X= S or Se) have been studied
for decades due to their interesting electronic and magnetic properties such as …

Major issues that limit the applicability of point-contact Andreev reflection (PCAR)
spectroscopy for measurements of transport spin polarization (P) are investigated. We show …

A significant number of the intermetallic Heusler alloys have been predicted to be half-
metals. In this contribution we present a study of the basic electronic and magnetic …
