Rare-earth impurities in Co${}_2$MnSi: an opportunity to improve Half-Metallicity at finite temperatures

E. Burzo, I. Balazs, L. Chioncel +2

We analyse the effects of doping Holmium impurities into the full-Heusler ferromagnetic alloy Co${}_2$MnSi. Experimental results, as well as theoretical calculations within Density F…
