      Comparison of free surface polarization of NiMnSb and Co2 MnSi 

      Miyoshi, Y.; Bugoslavsky, Y.; Syed, M. H.; Robinson, T.; Cohen, L. F.; Singh, L. J.; Barber, Z. H.; Grigorescu, C. E. A.; Gardelis, S.; Giapintzakis, John; Roy, W. Van (2006)
      We present a systematic study of the polarization of the transport current from a variety of NiMnSb and Co2 MnSi thin films and bulk material using point contact Andreev reflection spectroscopy. The simple analysis suggests ...

      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 ...

      Structural, magnetic, electronic, and spin transport properties of epitaxial Fe 3Si/GaAs(001) 

      Ionescu, A.; Vaz, C. A. F.; Trypiniotis, Theodossis; Gürtler, C. M.; García-Miquel, H.; Bland, J. A. C.; Vickers, M. E.; Dalgliesh, R. M.; Langridge, S.; Bugoslavsky, Y.; Miyoshi, Y.; Cohen, L. F.; Ziebeck, K. R. A. (2005)
      We report experimental results on the structural, magnetic, electronic, and spin transport properties of a 21 nm Fe 3Si/GaAs(001) heterostructure epitaxially grown by coevaporation. High-resolution x-ray diffraction shows ...

      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 ...
