摘要

In this paper, we investigated the Co2TiX (X = Ge, Sn) Heusler alloys by structural, magnetic and spin polarization measurements to probe the half-metallic nature. Alloys were synthesized using the arc melting technique, and found to exist in L2(1) crystal structure with Fm-3m space group. Curie temperature (T-C) is found to be 384 and 371 K for Co2TiGe and Co2TiSn respectively. The saturation magnetization (MS) value of 1.8 and 2.0 mu B/f.u. are obtained at 5 K for Co2TiGe and Co2TiSn respectively, compared to 2.0 mu B/f.u. calculated by Slater-Pauling rule. To obtain the spin polarization value, differential conductance curves were recorded at the ferromagnetic/superconducting point contact at 4.2 K. The current spin polarization (P) value of 0.63 +/- 0.03 and 0.64 +/- 0.02 were deduced for Co2TiGe and Co2TiSn respectively. Considering the high current spin polarization and TC, these materials appear to be promising for spintronic devices. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Superconducting triplet pairings and anisotropic magnetoresistance effects in ferromagnet/superconductor/ferromagnet double-barrier junctions

Andreas Costa, Jaroslav Fabian

Summary: Ferromagnetic spin valves with superconducting spacers were investigated for their tunneling conductance and magnetoresistance characteristics in the presence of interfacial spin-orbit couplings. Analysis revealed the competition between singlet and triplet gaps in the superconducting state, leading to significant conductance and magnetoresistance magnetoanisotropies. The study sheds light on the potential of superconducting magnetic spin valves for future superconducting-spintronics applications.

Anomalously large spin-dependent electron correlation in the nearly half-metallic ferromagnet CoS2

Hirokazu Fujiwara, Kensei Terashima, Junya Otsuki, Nayuta Takemori, Harald O. Jeschke, Takanori Wakita, Yuko Yano, Wataru Hosoda, Noriyuki Kataoka, Atsushi Teruya, Masashi Kakihana, Masato Hedo, Takao Nakama, Koichiro Yaji, Ayumi Harasawa, Kenta Kuroda, Shik Shin, Koji Horiba, Hiroshi Kumigashira, Yuji Muraoka, Takayoshi Yokoya, Yoshichika Onuki

Summary: The spin-dependent band structure of CoS2, a candidate for a half-metallic ferromagnet, was investigated to reevaluate its half-metallicity and electronic correlations. The results suggest that CoS2 is not a perfect half-metal but very close, with anomalously enhanced spin-dependent electron correlation effects near the half-metallic state.

Investigation of half-metallic properties of full-Heusler alloys of O2BaX (X = Na,K, Rb, and Cs)

Neda Nazemi, Farzad Ahmadian, Arash Boochani

Summary: First principles and density functional theory calculations were used to investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of Heusler compounds O2BaX (X = Na, K, Rb, and Cs) using the FPLAPW method. The results revealed that the ground state of these compounds exhibited an AlCu2Mn-type structure in the ferromagnetic state. The compounds were predicted to be ferromagnetic half-metals in both AlCu2Mn-type and CuHg2Ti-type phases. The study also examined the origin of their half-metallic behavior using electronic density of states (DOSs).

Spin-polarized supercurrent through the van der Waals Kondo-lattice ferromagnet Fe3GeTe2

Deepti Rana, R. Aswini, G. Basavaraja, Chandan Patra, Sandeep Howlader, Rajeswari Roy Chowdhury, Mukul Kabir, Ravi P. Singh, Goutam Sheet

Summary: In the new van der Waals Kondo-lattice Fe3GeTe2, a combination of itinerant ferromagnetism and heavy fermionic behavior alters transport behavior at a contact with a superconducting electrode and leads to unconventional proximity-induced superconductivity. Experimental results show an interplay between Andreev reflection and Kondo resonance at interfaces between superconducting Nb and Fe3GeTe2, with a dramatic suppression of conductance at zero bias below the critical temperature of Nb.

Half-metallic properties of Zr2CrAl ferrimagnetic full-Heusler compound, investigated in tetragonal, orthorhombic and rhombohedral crystal structures

A. Birsan, V Kuncser

Summary: The research efforts in this study focused on implementing Heusler materials into spintronic heterostructures, specifically investigating the half-metallic and magnetic properties of Zr2CrAl ferrimagnetic compound. Theoretical investigations using Density Functional Theory were conducted on different distortions of the inverse-Heusler cubic crystalline structure. The results showed that the compound exhibited half-metallic characteristics for all considered distortions, and the slight variations in unit cell volume did not affect its high spin polarization state. The calculated magnetic moment per formula unit followed the Slater-Pauling rule, and the antiferromagnetic coupling between Zr and Cr atoms was preserved.

Coexisting structural disorder and robust spin-polarization in half-metallic FeMnVAl

Shuvankar Gupta, Sudip Chakraborty, Santanu Pakhira, Celine Barreteau, Jean-Claude Crivello, Bilwadal Bandyopadhyay, Jean Marc Greneche, Eric Alleno, Chandan Mazumdar

Summary: In this study, a novel quaternary Heusler alloy-FeMnVAl-has been synthesized and its structural, magnetic, transport, and electronic properties have been studied through theoretical calculations and experiments. The presence of site disorder between the Fe and Mn atoms in the stable ordered structure of the system is observed. The magnetic measurements confirm the ferromagnetic behavior and the Mossbauer spectroscopy measurements suggest that only the Mn spins are responsible for the magnetic order.

Vasiliy D. Buchelnikov, Vladimir V. Sokolovskiy, Olga N. Miroshkina, Danil R. Baigutlin, Mikhail A. Zagrebin, Bernardo Barbiellini, Bahadur Singh, Arun Bansil, Erkki Lahderanta

Summary: Si-doped Mn2VGe Heusler alloys exhibit two stable structures at cubic lattice constants of 5.7 and 6.05 angstrom, with nearly degenerate high-spin and low-spin phases at a Si concentration of approximately 3.125 at% at zero temperature. The switching between these phases can be triggered by a pressure of 2.8 GPa at 300 K, making Si-doped Mn2VGe a potentially valuable material platform for spintronics applications.

Energy-Efficient W100-xTax/Co-Fe-B/MgO Spin Hall Nano-Oscillators

Nilamani Behera, Himanshu Fulara, Lakhan Bainsla, Akash Kumar, Mohammad Zahedinejad, Afshin Houshang, Johan Akerman

Summary: The study investigates the use of W-Ta alloying to reduce the auto-oscillation threshold current densities and power consumption of nanoconstriction based spin Hall nano-oscillators. By conducting spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance measurements, it is found that the spin-orbit torque efficiency and spin Hall conductivity significantly improve with the alloying. A 34% reduction in auto-oscillation threshold current density and a 64% reduction in power consumption compared to pure W-based spin Hall nano-oscillators are demonstrated. This work highlights the potential of W-Ta alloying for energy-efficient operation of emerging spintronic devices.
