First-principles study of structural, electronic and magnetic properties of AeX (Ae=Be, Mg, Sr, Ba; X=Si, Ge and Sn) compounds

Electrodeposition of MnAs-Based Thin-Film as a Possible Promising Candidate in Spintronics Applications

“…57 These chemical species contained in the electrochemically deposited thin film are very interesting as they both have properties suitable for applications in spintronics. 31,58 MnAs is a half-metal 59 typically obtained through physical deposition, it presents ferromagnetic properties, and spin anisotropy, which are key features for spintronic applications. 8,60 Previous papers in the literature report how an MnAs deposit was obtained by physical deposition and had interesting properties of ferromagnetism and spin anisotropy.…”

Fully spin-polarized quadratic non-Dirac bands realized quantum anomalous Hall effect

“…It is consistent with its bulk structure. [22][23][24][25] In addition, we calculated the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energies (MAE) of the BaX unit cell by considering the SOC effect. Here, we consider two magnetization directions, namely, the in plane ([100] direction) and out of plane ([001] direction).…”

“…Simultaneously, the alkali earth metal BaX (X = Si, Ge, Sn) system find unique ferromagnetic (FM) half-metal. [22][23][24][25] Interestingly, these compounds do not include any transition metal atoms. Hence, the mechanism of the ferromagnetism is different from the p-d exchange and double exchange that are crucial in the magnetic materials.…”
