Abstract:
Heusler compounds exhibit a wide range of different electronic ground states and are hence expected to be applicable as functional materials in novel electronic and spintronic devices. Since the growth of large and defect-free Heusler crystals is still challenging, single crystals of Fe2TiSn and Cu2MnAl were grown by the optical floating zone technique. Two positron annihilation techniques\textemdash{}angular correlation of annihilation radiation and Doppler broadening spectroscopy (DBS)\textemd...     »
