Fig. 4: The TC and spin-projected DOS of Co2-based Heusler compounds.
From: Emerging ferromagnetic materials for electrical spin injection: towards semiconductor spintronics
a The TC of Co2-based Heusler compounds shows a linear dependence on the number of valence electrons, and therefore, also on the magnetic moment. b Calculated spin-projected DOS for the Co2MnZ compounds, where Z represents Al, Ga, Si, and Ge. It was observed that all of these compounds exhibit a finite spin-down DOS around the Fermi level.
