Giant diamagnetism in half-metallic Co$_{2}$CrAl Heusler alloy

Abstract
- A giant diamagnetism in the Co$_{2}$CrAl compounds, in both bulk and thin film, below a certain temperature ($T_z$) was observed. Above $T_z$, the compound behaves as an ordinary ferromagnet. The diamagnetic alignment might be initiated by the Landau diamagnetism because of the half-metallic properties and the pinning of the diamagnetism is preserved by the peculiar electronic structures.<br />Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures
