Ti2MnZ (Z=Al, Ga, In) compounds with CuHg2Ti-type structure are predicted to have the different width of band gap in two spin channels and exhibit a nearly spin gapless semiconductivity. There are different origins of the band gap in spin-up and spin-down channels. The width of the band gap can be adjusted by changing the lattice parameter or doping congeners. These compounds are completely-compensated ferrimagnets with a zero magnetic moment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
