The half-metallic Heusler compound Co$_2$MnSi is a very attractive material for spintronic devices because it exhibits very high tunnelling magnetoresistance ratios. This work reports on a spectroscopic investigation of thin Co$_2$MnSi…
Investigations into the magnetic properties of sputtered Mn$_{x}$CoGe films in the range $0.8 \leq x \leq 2.5$ uncovered ferrimagnetic order, unlike the ferromagnetic order reported in bulk samples. These films formed hexagonal…
Mn$_2$VAl Heusler alloy films were epitaxially grown on MgO(100) single crystal substrates by means of ultra-high-vacuum magnetron sputtering. A2 and L2$_1$ type Mn$_2$VAl order was controlled by the deposition temperatures. A2-type…
Ferrimagnetic Mn$_2$Fe$_x$Ga $(0.26 \leq x \leq 1.12)$ thin films have been characterised by X-ray diffraction, SQUID magnetometry, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and M\"{o}ssbauer spectroscopy with the aim…
The ruthenium content of half-metallic Mn$_2$Ru$_x$Ga thin films, with a biaxially-strained inverse Heusler structure, controls the ferrimagnetism that determines their magnetic and electronic properties. An extensive study of…
Neutron diffraction and ab initio studies were carried out on Mn2V1-xCoxGa (x=0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) Heusler alloys which exhibits high TC fully compensated ferrimagnetic characteristic for x=0.5. A combined analysis of neutron diffraction…
In this paper, we present the structural, electronic, magnetic and transport properties of a equiatomic quaternary alloy NbVTiAl. The absence of (111) and (200) peaks in X-ray diffraction (XRD) data confirms the A2-type structure.…
MgO-barrier magnetic tunnel junctions with half-metallic Heusler alloy electrodes attracted much attentions for spintronics applications. However, a couples of issues related to materials still remain to be resolved for practical uses.…
Half-metallic ferromagnetic full-Heusler alloys containing Co and Mn, having the formula Co$_2$MnZ where Z a sp element, are among the most studied Heusler alloys due to their stable ferromagnetism and the high Curie temperatures which they…
Detailed information on the electronic states of both V and Mn 3d electrons in the ferrimagnet Mn2VAl is obtained by the bulk sensitive resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering (SX-RIXS) excited with the circularly polarized light under an…
Half-metallic antiferromagnets are the ideal materials for spintronic applications since their zero magnetization leads to lower stray fields and thus tiny energy losses. Starting from the Mn$_2$VAl and Mn$_2$VSi alloys we substitute Co or…
This work reports on the bulk properties of the quaternary Heusler alloy Co$_2$Mn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$Si with the Fe concentration $x=$. All samples, which were prepared by arc melting, exhibit $L2_1$ long range order over the complete range of Fe…
We show that Mn_2VAl is a compound for which the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) to the exchange-correlation functional in density functional theory makes a qualitative change in predicted behavior compared to the usual local…
The influence of antisite disorder occupancies on the magnetic properties of the half-metallic Co$_2$MnSi compound was studied by experimental techniques and first-principles calculations. The neutron diffraction studies show almost…
Half-metallic ferromagnets (HMF) are on one of the most promising materials in the field of spintronics due to their unique band structure consisting of one spin sub-band having metallic characteristics along with another sub-band with…
Magnetic properties of multicomponent alloys depend sensitively on the degree of atomic order on the different crystallographic sites. In this work we demonstrate the magnetic contrast between bulk and thin-film samples of the Heusler alloy…

The structure, magnetic and transport properties of thin films of the Heusler ferrimagnet Mn_{2}CoAl have been investigated for properties related to spin gapless semiconductors. Oriented films were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs…
Since the prediction of spin-gapless semiconducting behaviour in the Heusler compound Mn$_2$CoAl, evidence of spin-gapless behaviour in thin films has typically been inferred from magnetotransport measurements. The spin gapless state is…
