Abstract
To date, the use of flash evaporation (FE) as a deposition technique for NiMnSb thin films has not yet been reported. In this letter, we report on NiMnSb thin films deposited on heated Si (111) substrates at 300 °C via FE. Investigations of the structural characteristics and magnetic and magnetotransport properties of these thin films show typical features of a half-metallic ferromagnetic semi-Heusler alloy. The origin of the film’s extraordinary magnetotransport behavior is examined under the perspective of spin-order levels attached to a grain-grain boundary-type structure.
