Computational investigation of half-Heusler compounds for spintronics applications
Open accessAbstract
The authors investigate the properties of 378 half-Heusler compounds using density functional theory with the goal of identifying promising candidates for spintronic applications, e.g. half-metals. Although DFT has often been applied to the search for half-metals, this study may be the most comprehensive attempt to identify which of the compounds predicted by DFT to be half-metals are likely to be fabricated. The calculated formation energy of each of the 378 potential half Heuslers was compared to that of all competing phases and combination of phases in the Open Quantum Materials Database. Those semiconductors, half-metals, and near half-metals within an empirically determined 0.1 eV/atom hull distance margin for neglected effects were deemed of interest for further experimental investigation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
