Seebeck coefficients of half-metallic ferromagnets

Benjamin Balke, Siham Ouardi, Tanja Graf +6

In this report the Co2 based Heusler compounds are discussed as potential materials for spin voltage generation. The compounds were synthesized by arcmelting and consequent anneali…

Tuning of crystal structure and magnetic properties by exceptionally large epitaxial strains

J. Buschbeck, I. Opahle, M. Richter +7

Huge deformations of the crystal lattice can be achieved in materials with inherent structural instability by epitaxial straining. By coherent growth on seven different substrates…

Anomalous transport properties of the halfmetallic ferromagnets Co2TiSi, Co2TiGe, and Co2TiSn

Joachim Barth, Gerhard H. Fecher, Benjamin Balke +4

In this work the theoretical and experimental investigations of Co2TiZ (Z = Si, Ge, or Sn) compounds are reported. Half-metallic ferromagnetism is predicted for all three compounds…

Computer simulation studies of finite-size broadening of solid-liquid interfaces: From hard spheres to nickel

T. Zykova-Timan, R. E. Rozas, J. Horbach +1

Using Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations interfacial properties of crystal-fluid interfaces are investigated for the hard sphere system and the one-component…

Self assembly of highly fluorescent semiconductor nanorods into large scale smectic liquid crystal structures by coffee stain evaporation dynamics

Concetta Nobile, Luigi Carbone, Angela Fiore +3

We deposit droplets of nanorods dispersed in solvents on substrate surfaces and let the solvent evaporate. We find that strong contact line pinning leads to dense nanorod depositio…
