Abstract

The magnetic ground state of the Heusler compound Mn₂CoSn was predicted to be nearly half-metallic ferrimagnetic with a high spin polarization by ab initio electronic structure calculations. Mn₂CoSn was synthesized, and the magnetic behavior of the compound was studied using a superconducting quantum interference device and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism. The experimental values were found to be in fair accordance with the theoretical predictions. The electronic structure and the crystal structure of Mn₂CoSn were characterized comprehensively using x-ray powder diffraction, Sn119 Mössbauer spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, and hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
