Pressure-induced mechanically, thermodynamically and structurally stable half-metallic ferromagnetic NiSc 2 X 4 (X = S and Se) spinels for spintroni
M. Aslam Khan, Fatima Ahsan, Shanawer Niaz, M. S. Al-Buriahi, Nora Mobark Farhan, Rawiyah Alkahtani, Sohail MumtazWe examined the pressure-induced thermodynamic and mechanical characteristics of the half metallic spinels NiSc 2 X 4 (X = S, Se). The stability of both materials has been checked from the perspective of energy and they show no imaginary phonon branches.
