      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 ...

      Surface particularities in pulsed laser ablation/deposition of the ferromagnetic alloy NiMnSb 

      Grigorescu, C. E. A.; Manea, S. A.; Mitrea, M.; Monnereau, O.; Notonier, R.; Tortet, L.; Keschawarz, R.; Giapintzakis, John; Klini, A.; Zorba, V.; Androulakis, J.; Fotakis, C. (2003)
      In this work we investigate the surface morphology and stoichiometry of the ablated targets employed with pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of thin films of the ferromagnetic half-Heusler alloy NiMnSb. The NiMnSb targets were: ...
