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…

Coordination Dependence of Hyperfine Fields of 5sp Impurities on Ni Surfaces

Phivos Mavropoulos

We present first-principles calculations of the magnetic hyperfine fields H of 5sp impurities on the (001), (111), and (110) surfaces of Ni. We examine the dependence of H on the c…

A KKR Green function formalism for ballistic transport

Ph. Mavropoulos, N. Papanikolaou, P. H. Dederichs

We develop a method for the calculation of ballistic transport from first principles. The multiple scattering screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) method is combined with a Green'…

Half-metallic Zinc-blende Compounds

Ph. Mavropoulos, I. Galanakis, P. H. Dederichs

We report first-principles calculations of zinc-blende half-metals, identifying systems for epitaxial growth with semiconductors, and present calculations for CrAs/GaAs multilayers…
