Chromium based inverse Heusler compounds of the type Cr2YZ (Y=Co, Fe; Z=Al, Ga, In, Si, Ge, Sn) have been proposed as fully compensated half-metallic ferrimagnets. Such materials are of large interest for spintronics because they combine…
Recently, theorists have predicted many materials with a low magnetic moment and large spin-polarization for spintronic applications. These compounds are predicted to form in the inverse Heusler structure, however, many of these compounds…

The ordered tetragonal intermetallic Cr$_2$Al forms the same structure type as Mn$_2$Au, and the latter has been heavily investigated for its potential in antiferromagnetic spintronics due to its degenerate in-plane N\'{e}el vector. We…
