Heusler Alloys

This book gives an overview of the physics of Heusler compounds ranging from fundamental properties of these alloys to their applications. Especially Heusler compounds as half-metallic ferromagnetic and topological insulators are important in condensed matter science due to their potential in magnetism and as materials for energy conversion. The book is written by world-leaders in this field. It offers an ideal reference to researchers at any level.

Contains contributions of world-leading authors in the field Includes detailed growth/fabrication processes of Heusler-alloy structures Ideal reference to researchers at any level Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
