Ferrimagnetism and disorder in epitaxial Mn(2-x)Co(x)VAl thin films
Markus Meinert, Jan-Michael Schmalhorst, Günter Reiss +1
The quaternary full Heusler compound Mn(2-x)Co(x)VAl with x = 1 is predicted to be a half-metallic antiferromagnet. Thin films of the quaternary compounds with x = 0...2 were prepa…
Exchange interactions and Curie temperatures in Mn2CoZ compounds
Markus Meinert, Jan-Michael Schmalhorst, Günter Reiss
The generalized Heusler compounds Mn2CoZ (Z = Al, Ga, In, Si, Ge, Sn, Sb) with the Hg2CuTi structure are of large interest due to their half-metallic ferrimagnetism. The complex ma…
Structural and magnetic properties of Co-Mn-Sb thin films
Markus Meinert, Jan-Michael Schmalhorst, Daniel Ebke +6
Thin Co-Mn-Sb films of different compositions were investigated and utilized as electrodes in alumina based magnetic tunnel junctions with CoFe counter electrode. The preparation c…
Influence of tetragonal distortion on the magnetic and electronic properties of the Heusler compound Co2TiSn from first principles
Markus Meinert, Jan-Michael Schmalhorst, Günter Reiss
Using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbitals method we determine ab-initio the lattice parameters of tetragonally distorted Co2TiSn in the L21 struc…
Ab initio prediction of ferrimagnetism, exchange interactions and Curie temperatures in Mn2TiZ Heusler compounds
Markus Meinert, Jan-Michael Schmalhorst, Günter Reiss
The Heusler compounds MnTiZ (Z = Al, Ga, In, Si, Ge, Sn, P, As, Sb) are of large interest due to their potential ferrimagnetic properties and high spin polarization. Here, we p…
Electronic structure of fully epitaxial Co2TiSn thin films
Markus Meinert, Jan-Michael Schmalhorst, Hendrik Wulfmeier +4
In this article we report on the properties of thin films of the full Heusler compound Co2TiSn prepared by DC magnetron co-sputtering. Fully epitaxial, stoichiometric films were ob…
