Tremendous progress has been made recently in the development of
magnetic Heusler compounds specifically designed as materials for
spintronic applications [1]. While problems in the field of
spintronics remain, the use of half-metallic Heusler compounds
provides a prospect for novel solutions.
Heusler compounds can be made with high spin polarization and high
Curie temperature as well as high spin injection efficiency, either
very low or high damping, tunable magnetic moment (low and high
magnetic moments can be realized), and tunable anisotropy. There is,
