We demonstrate high-throughput evaluation of the half-metallicity of CoMnSi Heusler alloys by spin-integrated hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) of composition-spread films performed with high-brilliance synchrotron radiation at NanoTerasu, which identifies the optimum composition showing the best half-metallicity. Co Mn Si composition-spread thin films for = 10-40% with a thickness of 30 nm are fabricated on MgO(100) substrates using combinatorial sputtering technique. The 2-ordering and (001)-oriented epitaxial growth of CoMnSi are confirmed by X-ray diffraction for = 18-40%.

New unconventional compensated magnets with a p-wave spin polarization protected by a composite time-reversal translation symmetry have been proposed in the wake of altermagnets. To facilitate the experimental discovery and applications of these unconventional magnets, we construct an effective analytical model. The effective model is based on a minimal tight-binding model for unconventional p-wave magnets that clarifies the relation to other magnets with p-wave spin-polarized bands.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials embedded in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) provide a platform to increase the control over spin transport properties by the proximity spin-filtering effect. This could be harnessed to craft spintronic devices with low power consumption and high performance. We explore the spin transport in the 2D MTJs based on graphene, which is uniformly grown on Ni(111) substrates using the chemical vapor deposition technique.

The spin-orbit-assisted Mott insulator α-RuCl is proximate to the coveted quantum spin liquid (QSL) predicted by the Kitaev model. In the search for the pure Kitaev QSL, reducing the dimensionality of this frustrated magnet by exfoliation has been proposed as a way to enhance magnetic fluctuations and Kitaev interactions. Here, we perform angle-dependent tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) measurements on ultrathin α-RuCl crystals with various layer numbers to probe their magnetic, electronic, and crystal structures.
