      Large positive magnetoresistance in nonstoichiometric NiMnSb thin films on silicon 

      Branford, W. R.; Clowes, S. K.; Syed, M. H.; Bugoslavsky, Y. V.; Gardelis, S.; Androulakis, J.; Giapintzakis, John; Grigorescu, C. E. A.; Berenov, A. V.; Roy, S. B.; Cohen, L. F. (2004)
      The transport properties of pulsed-laser-deposited NiMnSb films on silicon as a function of film thickness were discussed. It was found that a low-temperature upturn was observed in the resistivity for film thicknesses of ...

      Oblique hanle measurements of InAs/GaAs quantum dot spin-light emitting diodes 

      Itskos, Grigorios; Harbord, E.; Clowes, S. K.; Clarke, E.; Van Dorpe, P.; Van Roy, W.; Cohen, L. F.; Murray, R. (2007)
      We report here electrical spin injection through an Fe contact into a quantum dot light emitting diode structure using the oblique Hanle geometry. The measured spin polarization in the ground state of the dots is estimated ...

      Spin polarisation and anomalous Hall effect in NiMnSb films 

      Branford, W. R.; Roy, S. B.; Clowes, S. K.; Miyoshi, Y.; Bugoslavsky, Y. V.; Gardelis, S.; Giapintzakis, John; Cohen, L. F. (2004)
      NiMnSb has attracted a great deal of interest as a spin injector/detector in spintronic devices because it has a Curie temperature of 728 K and is predicted to be half-metallic (100% spin polarized). NiMnSb has been reported ...

      Synthesis and physical properties of arc melted NiMnSb 

      Gardelis, S.; Androulakis, J.; Migiakis, P.; Giapintzakis, John; Clowes, S. K.; Bugoslavsky, Y.; Branford, W. R.; Miyoshi, Y.; Cohen, L. F. (2004)
      The synthesis and physical properties of arc melted NiMnSb were studied using X-ray diffraction analysis. It was observed that the half metallicity in NiMnSb is supported by the integer saturation magnetization value at 5 ...

      Thickness dependence of Hall transport in Ni1.15Mn 0.85Sb thin films on silicon 

      Branford, W. R.; Clowes, S. K.; Bugoslavsky, Y. V.; Gardelis, S.; Androulakis, J.; Giapintzakis, John; Grigorescu, C. E. A.; Manea, S. A.; Freitas, R. S.; Roy, S. B.; Cohen, L. F. (2004)
      Highly spin polarized Heusler alloys, NiMnSb and Co2MnSi, attract a great deal of interest as potential spin injectors for spintronic applications. Spintronic devices require control of interfacial properties at the ...
