The effect of chemical disorder on the empty electronic states of NiMnSb — •Jürgen Braun1, Hristo Kolev1, Georgi Rangelov1, Markus Donath1, Sven Borneman2, Jan Minar2, and Hubert Ebert21Physikalisches Institut, Westfälische-Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 10, 48149 Münster — 2Institut für Physikalische Chemie, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Theresien Str. 37-41, 80333 München

The empty electronic states of the half-metallic semi Heusler alloy NiMnSb have been investigated by spin-resolved Appearance Potential Spectroscopy (SRAPS). Compared to fully relativistic SRAPS calculations our measurements reveal an unexpected low spin-polarization. To understand the physical origin of this discrepancy we performed a quantitative theoretical analysis of the influence of chemical disorder on the unoccupied density of states (DOS). Our theory describes the spectra as the self-convolution of the matrix-element weighted, orbitally-resolved unoccupied DOS, which was calculated by use of the ab-initio Coherent Potential Approximation (CPA) method.
