Non-quasiparticle states in Co${}_2$MnSi evidenced through magnetic tunnel junction spectroscopy measurements

Abstract

We investigate the effects of electronic correlations in the full-Heusler Co${}_2$MnSi, by combining a theoretical analysis of the spin-resolved density of states with tunneling-conductance spectroscopy measurements using Co${}_2$MnSi as electrode. Both experimental and theoretical results confirm the existence of so-called non-quasiparticle states and their crucial contribution to the finite-temperature spin polarisation in this material.
