First-principles study of magnetic and spin-dependent transport properties of Mn2VZ (Z = Al, Ga) with negative spin polarization using a disordered local moment approach at finite temperatures

Shogo Yamashita, Esita Pandey, Gerhard H. Fecher +2

First-principles studies were performed on two Mn-based ferrimagnetic Heusler compounds with L21 and B2 structures, that is, Mn2VZ (Z = Al or Ga). The aim was to investigate their…
