Unusual Kinetic Properties of Usual Heusler Alloys

The review considers various groups of Heusler compounds, which can have the properties a semiconductor, half-metallic ferromagnet, spin gapless topological semimetal, and non-collinear antiferromagnet. In these “conventional” from point view crystal structure, unusual kinetic magnetic be observed, are caused by features their electronic structure (e.g., presence an energy gap for one projection) state strong ferromagnetism, compensated ferrimagnetism). Their characteristics very sensitive to external influences. Depending on alloy composition parameters, transitions between considered states realized. All this opens up further prospects controlling such compounds practical application.
