Heusler compounds are a large family of binary, ternary, and quaternary compounds that exhibit a wide range of properties of both fundamental and potential technological interest. The extensive tunability of the Heusler compounds through chemical substitutions and structural motifs makes the family especially interesting. In this article we highlight recent major developments in the field of Heusler compounds and put these in the historical context. The evolution of the Heusler compounds can be described by four major periods of research. In the latest period, Heusler 4.0 has led to the observation of a variety of properties derived from topology that includes topological metals with Weyl and Dirac points; a variety of noncollinear spin textures, including the very recent observation of skyrmions at room temperature; and giant anomalous Hall effects in antiferromagnetic Heuslers with triangular magnetic structures. Here we give a comprehensive overview of these major achievements and set research into Heu...

Heusler 4.0：可调材料

Heusler 化合物是一大类二元、三元和四元化合物，具有广泛的基本和潜在技术价值。Heusler 化合物通过化学取代和结构基序的广泛可调性使这个家族特别有趣。在本文中，我们重点介绍了 Heusler 化合物领域的最新重大发展，并将其置于历史背景中。Heusler 化合物的演变可以通过四个主要的研究时期来描述。在最近的一段时间里，Heusler 4.0 导致了对来自拓扑的各种性质的观察，其中包括具有 Weyl 和 Dirac 点的拓扑金属；各种非共线自旋纹理，包括最近在室温下观察到的斯格明子；和具有三角形磁结构的反铁磁赫斯勒中的巨大异常霍尔效应。在这里，我们对这些重大成就进行了全面的概述，并对 Heu 进行了研究。
