Realization of spin gapless semiconductors: the Heusler compound Mn2CoAl.
Recent studies have reported an interesting class of semiconductor materials that bridge the gap between semiconductors and half-metallic ferromagnets. These materials, called spin gapless semiconductors, exhibit a band gap in one of the spin channels and a zero band gap in the other and thus allow for tunable spin transport. Here, we report the first experimental verification of the spin gaple...
متن کاملRare earth-based quaternary Heusler compounds MCoVZ (M = Lu, Y; Z = Si, Ge) with tunable band characteristics for potential spintronic applications
Magnetic Heusler compounds (MHCs) have recently attracted great attention since these types of material provide novel functionalities in spintronic and magneto-electronic devices. Among the MHCs, some compounds have been predicted to be spin-filter semiconductors [also called magnetic semiconductors (MSs)], spin-gapless semiconductors (SGSs) or half-metals (HMs). In this work, by means of first...
متن کاملThe continuing drama of the half-metal/semiconductor interface
In this article, based on electronic structure calculations, the conditions are discussed under which a genuine half-metallic interface between a heusler C1b half-metal and a semiconductor can exist. An explanation is given why for the III–V semiconductors the double anion terminated (111) interface is the only possible interface. For semiconductors, based on transition metals, a much wider var...
متن کاملEffect of swap disorder on the physical properties of the quaternary Heusler alloy PdMnTiAl: a first-principles study
Heusler alloys crystallize in a close-packed cubic structure, having a four-atom basis forming a face-centred cubic lattice. By selecting different composite elements, Heusler alloys provide a large family of members for frontier research of spintronics and magnetic materials and devices. In this paper, the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of a novel quaternary Heusler alloy, PdMn...

of 3d transition metals (Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn , Fe, Co, Ni) in both far and close situations were studied based on spin polarised density functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation (LDA) with SIESTA code. The electronic structures show that zigzag (0,9) GaAs nanotubes are non-magnetic semiconductors with direct band gap. It was revealed that doping of 11.11 % Fe and Mn concentrati...
