NMR investigation of atomic and electronic structures of half-Heusler topologically nontrivial semimetals

TL;DR: In this article, the sign and magnitude of 209Bi isotropic shifts of YPtBi at various temperatures are systematically distinct from YPdBi, and these results support the band inversion model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetocaloric properties and critical behavior of Co$_2$Cr$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Al Heusler alloys

TL;DR: In this article, the magnetocaloric effect and critical behavior of Co$_2$Cr$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$Al ($x=$ 0.25, 0.5,0.75) Heusler alloys across the ferromagnetic (FM) transition (T$_{\rm C}$).
Journal ArticleDOI

Half-Metal Spin-Gapless Semiconductor Junctions as a Route to the Ideal Diode

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a diode concept that does not have a junction barrier and the operation principle of which relies on the spin-dependent transport properties of the HMM and SGS materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation on the structural, elastic, electronic, and magnetic properties of half-metallic $$\hbox {Co}_{2}\hbox {MnSi}$$ Co 2 MnSi and CoMnIrSi via first-principles calculations

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural, elastic, electronic, and magnetic properties of the CoMnIrSi full-Heusler compounds were investigated by means of density functional theory based on the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) approach.

Site preference of Zr in Heusler alloys Zr2YAl (Y = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) and its influence on the electronic properties

TL;DR: The site preference of 4d transition metal element Zr in Heusler alloys Zr2YAl (Y = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) has been investigated theoretically.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
