Spintronic properties and stability of the half-Heusler alloys LiMnZ (Z=N, P, Si)
L. Damewood, B. Busemeyer, M. Shaughnessy +3
Li-based half-Heusler alloys have attracted much attention due to their potential applications in optoelectronics and because they carry the possibility of exhibiting large magneti…
The scaling properties of exchange and correlation holes of the valence shell of second row atoms
Antonio C. Cancio, C. Y. Fong
We study the exchange and correlation hole of the valence shell of second row atoms using variational Monte Carlo techniques, especially correlated estimates, and norm-conserving p…
Comparison of two structures for transition-metal-based half Heusler alloys exhibiting fully compensated half metallicity
Michael Shaughnessy, C. Y. Fong, Lin H. Yang +1
We search for new fully compensated half metals, in which only one electronic spin channel is conducting and there exists no net magnetic moment. We focus on half Heusler alloys an…
An efficient procedure for the development of optimized Projector Augmented Wave basis functions
R. J. Snow, A. F. Wright, C. Y. Fong
In the Projector Augmented Wave (PAW) method, a local potential, basis functions, and projector functions form an All-Electron (AE) basis for valence wave functions in the applicat…
Origin of large moments in MnSi at small x
Michael Shaughnessy, C. Y. Fong, Ryan Snow +3
Recently, the magnetic moment/Mn, , in MnSi was measured to be 5.0 /Mn, at =0.1%. To understand this observed , we investigate several MnSi m…
Half metallic digital ferromagnetic heterostructure composed of a -doped layer of Mn in Si
M. C. Qian, C. Y. Fong, Kai Liu +3
We propose and investigate the properties of a digital ferromagnetic heterostructure (DFH) consisting of a -doped layer of Mn in Si, using \textit{ab initio} electronic-structur…
