Bristol and Munich physicists use spin-polarised positron annihilation to probe a Heusler alloy, in an echo from Professor H H Potter 80 years ago
In a neat connection with pioneering work in Bristol over 80 years ago, a team of physicists from Bristol and Munich have used spin-polarised positron annihilation to probe the electronic structure of a Heusler alloy, Cu2MnAl. [See note 1 below]
