We have investigated the electronic structure and magnetism of Mn-doped half-Heusler alloys by using the Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker coherent potential approximation (KKR-CPA) method within the local density approximation (LDA). Half-Heusler compounds can be attractive for spintronic applications because the crystal structure and lattice constant of these compounds are similar to those of III–V and II–VI compounds, which are often used in present semiconductor technologies. The Curie temperatures of Mn-doped half-Heusler alloys are calculated by the mean field approximation, random phase approximation, and Monte Carlo simulation. Based on our calculation results, we discuss whether or not the half-Heusler-based dilute magnetic semiconductors are useful for realizing semiconductor spintronics.
