One of the recent topics in spintronics is the realization of the so-called topological insulators, that are insulators in the bulk and gapless semiconductors at the surface. Besides the well-known wide range of properties of the Heusler family it was recently shown that many of the heavy Heusler semiconductors with 1:1:1 composition and C1b structure are zero band-gap insulators and exhibit a inverted band structure. The density of states of several compounds was investigated by bulk sensitive hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. First experimental results on PtYSb, PtLaBi, and PtGdBi give clear evidence for the zero band-gap state. Their structural, spectral and transport characteristics will be compared to calculations.
