Abstract
The class of Heusler compounds, including the XYZ and the X(2)YZ
compounds, has not only an endless number of members, but also a vast
variety of properties can be found in this class of materials, ranging
from semiconductors, half-metallic ferromagnets, superconductors, and
topological insulators to shape memory alloys. With this review article,
we would like to provide an overview of Heusler compounds, focusing on
their structure, properties, and potential applications.
