Ferrimagnetism and strain-tunable half-metallicity in Cr2CoZ (Z = P, As) inverse Heusler alloys
The electronic structure of inverse Heusler alloys can be tuned through the choice of the main- group element and lattice strain. The closely related inverse Heusler compounds Cr2CoP and Cr2CoAs provide a convenient model system for examining the influence of these two factors on their electronic structure and relate...
