Abstract
Abstract:
• Spintronics – uses electron’s spin in electronic devices.
• Ideal candidate – room temperature half-metal.
• Heusler compounds attractive because of high Curie temperature.
• Various mechanisms altering spin polarization – mechanical strain, structural disorder, temperature, termination surface/interface, etc.
• FeCrZrAl: nearly spin gapless semiconductor.
