“…This extraordinary behaviour can be understood via distinct character of energy bands for spin up and spin down states. While spin up band overlaps the Fermi energy level (E f ) and demonstrates a metallic character, the spin down band shows a semiconductor-like gap at the E f [3,4]. Heusler alloys, which are well-known for their diverse and multifunctional magnetic behaviour in various fields of application, have recently attracted much attention as they are theoretically predicted to exhibit 100% spin polarization at E f [5 -7].…”

“…Thus, the Heusler alloys prepared by arc melting or grown as thin films are required to initiate the necessary structural ordering through performing long time and high temperature annealing treatments [3]. To avoid this disadvantageous step, alternative rapid quenching production of the Heusler alloys has been recently carried out [4].…”

“…In their case, the spin polarization is given by a strong asymmetry in the majority and minority density of state close to the Fermi level. A noteworthy example is Ni 2 MnSn, which was experimentally proved to exhibit up to 70% of spin polarization [4].…”

“…Therefore, the Heusler alloys prepared by arc melting or grown thin films need an additional long thermal treatment (weeks) at high temperatures [5][6][7]. This disadvantageous post production can be eliminated by using rapid quenching methods like melt spinning, which offers the benefit of easy preparation of large amount of the Heusler alloys with correct L2 1 crystalline structure [8] (Fig. 1).…”
