Effect of disorder on the magnetic and electronic structure of a prospective spin-gapless semiconductor MnCrVAl

Journal Article Kharel, P. ; Herran, J. ; Lukashev, P. ; ... - AIP Advances

Recent discovery of a new class of materials, spin-gapless semiconductors (SGS), has attracted considerable attention in the last few years, primarily due to potential applications in the emerging field of spin-based electronics (spintronics). Here, we investigate structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of one potential SGS compound, MnCrVAl, using various experimental and theoretical techniques. Our calculations show that this material exhibits ≈ 0.5 eV band gap for the majority-spin states, while for the minority-spin it is nearly gapless. The calculated magnetic moment for the completely ordered structure is 2.9 μB/f.u., which is different from our experimentally measured value of almost zero.more »« less

Effect of Fe substitution on the structural, magnetic and electron-transport properties of half-metallic Co₂TiSi

Journal Article Jin, Y. ; Waybright, J. ; Kharel, P. ; ... - AIP Advances

The structural, magnetic and electron-transport properties of Co₂Ti_1-xFe_xSi (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5) ribbons prepared by arc-melting and melt-spinning were investigated. The rapidly quenched Co₂Ti_0.5Fe_0.5Si crystallized in the cubic L2₁ structure whereas Co₂Ti_0.75Fe_0.25Si and Co₂TiFe₀Si showed various degrees of B2-type disorder. At room temperature, all the samples are ferromagnetic, and the Curie temperature increased from 360 K for Co₂TiSi to about 800 K for Co₂Ti_0.5Fe_0.5Si. The measured magnetization also increased due to partial substitution of Fe for Ti atoms. The ribbons are moderately conducting and show positive temperature coefficient of resistivity with the room temperature resistivity being between 360 μΩcmmore »« less

Half-metallicity in highly L2₁-ordered CoFeCrAl thin films

Journal Article Jin, Y. ; Kharel, P. ; Valloppilly, S. R. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The structural, magnetic, and electron-transport properties of Heusler-ordered CoFeCrAl thin films are investigated experimentally and theoretically. The films, sputtered onto MgO and having thicknesses of about 100 nm, exhibit virtually perfect single-crystalline epitaxy and a high degree of L2₁ chemical order. X-ray diffraction and transmission-electron microscopy show that the structure of the films is essentially of the L21 Heusler type. The films are ferrimagnetic, with a Curie temperature of about 390 K, and a net moment of 2 μ_B per formula unit. The room temperature resistivity is 175 μΩ cm; the carrier concentration and mobility determined from the low temperaturemore »« less

Structural disorder and magnetism in the spin-gapless semiconductor CoFeCrAl

Journal Article Choudhary, Renu ; Department of Physics and Astronomy and NCMN, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE 68588 ; Kharel, Parashu ; ... - AIP Advances

Disordered CoFeCrAl and CoFeCrSi{sub 0.5}Al{sub 0.5} alloys have been investigated experimentally and by first-principle calculations. The melt-spun and annealed samples all exhibit Heusler-type superlattice peaks, but the peak intensities indicate a substantial degree of B2-type chemical disorder. Si substitution reduces the degree of this disorder. Our theoretical analysis also considers several types of antisite disorder (Fe-Co, Fe-Cr, Co-Cr) in Y-ordered CoFeCrAl and partial substitution of Si for Al. The substitution transforms the spin-gapless semiconductor CoFeCrAl into a half-metallic ferrimagnet and increases the half-metallic band gap by 0.12 eV. Compared CoFeCrAl, the moment of CoFeCrSi{sub 0.5}Al{sub 0.5} is predicted to increasemore »« less
