Heusler alloys for spintronic devices: review on recent development and future perspectives

TL;DR: Heusler alloys are theoretically predicted to become half-metals at room temperature (RT) and by employing these ferromagnetic alloy films in a spintronic device, efficient spin injection into a non-magnetic material and large magnetoresistance are also discussed.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple

TL;DR: A simple derivation of a simple GGA is presented, in which all parameters (other than those in LSD) are fundamental constants, and only general features of the detailed construction underlying the Perdew-Wang 1991 (PW91) GGA are invoked.

Self-Consistent Equations Including Exchange and Correlation Effects

TL;DR: In this paper, the Hartree and Hartree-Fock equations are applied to a uniform electron gas, where the exchange and correlation portions of the chemical potential of the gas are used as additional effective potentials.

Atoms, molecules, solids, and surfaces: Applications of the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation.

TL;DR: A way is found to visualize and understand the nonlocality of exchange and correlation, its origins, and its physical effects as well as significant interconfigurational and interterm errors remain.

Generalized Gradient Approximation Made Simple [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 3865 (1996)]

TL;DR: For the molecules Be2, F2, and P2 of Table I, the unrestricted Hartree-Fock solution breaks the singlet spin symmetry, even though the density functional solutions do not.

Giant magnetoresistance of (001)Fe/(001)Cr magnetic superlattices.

TL;DR: This work ascribes this giant magnetoresistance of (001)Fe/(001)Cr superlattices prepared by molecularbeam epitaxy to spin-dependent transmission of the conduction electrons between Fe layers through Cr layers.
