Half-Heusler Compounds as a New Class of Three-Dimensional Topological Insulators

open access: yes, 2010
Using first-principles calculations within density functional theory, we explore the feasibility of converting ternary half-Heusler compounds into a new class of three-dimensional topological insulators (3DTI).

Interface characterization of Co2MnGe/Rh2CuSn Heusler multilayers

open access: yes, 2013
All-Heusler multilayer structures have been investigated by means of high kinetic x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, aiming to address the amount of disorder and interface diffusion induced by annealing of the ...

Crossover of magnetoresistance in the zerogap half-metallic Heusler alloy Fe2CoSi

open access: yes, 2013
This work reports on the band structure and magneto-transport investigations of the inverse Heusler compound Fe2CoSi. The first-principles calculations reveal that Fe2CoSi has a very peculiar band structure with a conducting property in the majority spin

Engineering the electronic, magnetic and gap-related properties of the quinternary half-metallic Heusler alloys

open access: yes, 2007
We review the electronic and magnetic properties of the quinternary full Heusler alloys of the type Co$_2$[Cr$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$][Al$_{1-y}$Si$_y$] employing three different approaches : (i) the coherent potential approximation (CPA), (ii) the virtual crystal

Topological Materials: Weyl Semimetals

open access: yes, 2016
Topological insulators and topological semimetals are both new classes of quantum materials, which are characterized by surface states induced by the topology of the bulk band structure.

Computational search for ultrasmall and fast skyrmions in the Inverse Heusler family

open access: yes, 2019
Skyrmions are magnetic excitations that are potentially ultrasmall and topologically protected, making them interesting for high-density all-electronic ultrafast storage applications. While recent experiments have confirmed the existence of various types

Observation of unusual topological surface states in half-Heusler compounds LnPtBi (Ln=Lu, Y)

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Heusler compounds have been predicted to host topological order with other emergent properties, which yet awaits for experimental evidence. Here, Liu et al. report a direct observation of topological surface states on half-Heusler compounds LnPtBi.

Effect of swap disorder on the physical properties of the quaternary Heusler alloy PdMnTiAl: a first-principles study

open access: yesIUCrJ, 2017
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 ...
