Heusler Compounds and their Topological Semimetal States

Article Preview

Abstract:

Heusler compounds are a family of materials with high tunability due to their structure and lots of states or properties have been discovered in it. Topological semimetals (TSM) are a new phase of quantum matter that many materials have been reported to have this phase, including Heusler compounds. In this review, basic concepts of Heusler compounds and main properties of three TSMs are first reviewed, followed by analysis of topological semimetal states in Heusler compounds. In the end, the most suitable TSM state in Heusler compound is given.
