Yue Wang, Liying Wang, Wenbo Mi
Abstract
The complete spin polarizations of Mn<sub>2.25</sub>Co<sub>0.75</sub>Al<sub>1−x</sub>Ge<sub>x</sub> are proved to be robust against stoichiometric defect and lattice deformation, whose easy magnetization direction can be manipulated from in-plane direction to out-of-plane one under uniaxial strain.
