Complex magnetism of B20-MnGe: from spin-spirals, hedgehogs to monopoles
Marcel Bornemann, Sergii Grytsiuk, Paul F. Baumeister +4
B20 compounds are the playground for various non-trivial magnetic textures such as skyrmions, which are topologically protected states. Recent measurements on B20-MnGe indicate no…
Precise Kohn-Sham total-energy calculations at reduced cost
Rudolf Zeller
The standard way to calculate the Kohn-Sham orbitals utilizes an approximation of the potential. The approximation consists in a projection of the potential into a finite subspace…
The effect of the spin-orbit interaction on the band gap of half-metals
Ph. Mavropoulos, K. Sato, R. Zeller +3
The spin-orbit interaction can cause a nonvanishing density of states (DOS) within the minority-spin band gap of half-metals around the Fermi level. We examine the magnitude of the…
Ballistic Spin Injection from Fe into ZnSe and GaAs with a (001), (111), and (110) orientation
O. Wunnicke, Ph. Mavropoulos, R. Zeller +1
We present first-principles calculations of ballistic spin injection in Fe/GaAs and Fe/ZnSe junctions with orientation (001), (111), and (110). We find that the symmetry mismatch o…
