Half-metallic antiferromagnets

The letter discusses the possibility of realizing half-metallic antiferromagnets, i.e. systems with 100% spin polarization of the conduction electrons without showing a net magnetization. The predictions are based on electronic structure calculations using the local density approximation. Example ma...

Zusammenfassung:The letter discusses the possibility of realizing half-metallic antiferromagnets, i.e. systems with 100% spin polarization of the conduction electrons without showing a net magnetization. The predictions are based on electronic structure calculations using the local density approximation. Example materials used are NiMnSb and VFeSb.
