Abstract

We review the appearance of Slater-Pauling rules in half-metallic magnets. These rules have been derived using ab-initio electronic structure calculations and directly connect the electronic properties (existence of minority-spin energy gap) to the magnetic properties (total spin magnetic moment) in these compounds. Their exact formulation depends on the half-metallic family under study and they can be easily derived if the hybridization of the orbitals at various sites is taken into account.
