Ferromagnetic half-metallicity in half-Heusler AuMnSn:Te Alloy

Identifying a strategy for beneficial band-engineering is vital for the optimization of spintronic materials. In this study, we demonstrate the beneficial effects of electron doping on ferromagnetic (FM) half-Heusler AuMnSn _1− _x Te _x (0 ≤  x  ≤ 1) using state-of-the-art first-principles methods....
