TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that around 50 Heusler compounds show band inversion similar to that of HgTe, and the topological state in these zero-gap semiconductors can be created by applying strain or by designing an appropriate quantum-well structure, similar to the case of hgTe. The properties can open new research directions in realizing the quantized anomalous Hall effect and topological superconductors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure, the origin of the band gap and the functionalities of semiconducting half-Heusler compounds are reviewed. But the authors focus on the magnetic properties of the half-heusler compound.

TL;DR: This work investigates epitaxial thin films of the compound Co2MnSi in situ by ultraviolet-photoemission spectroscopy, taking advantage of a novel multi-channel spin filter and shows a highly spin polarized bulk-like surface resonance ingrained in a half metallic bulk band structure.

TL;DR: In this paper, a family of Heusler alloys with a compensated ferrimagnetic state was designed and a giant exchange bias of more than 3 T and a large coercivity were established.

TL;DR: Band Jahn-Teller type structural instabilities of cubic Mn(2)YZ Heusler compounds causing tetragonal distortions can be predicted by ab initio band-structure calculations, allowing for identification of new HeUSler materials with tunable magnetic and structural properties that can satisfy the demands for spintronic applications, such in spin-transfer torque-based devices.
