Search for a new member of parabolic-like spin-gapless semiconductors: The case of diamond-like quaternary compound CuMn2InSe4

Spin-gapless semiconductors (SGSs) can be viewed as a potential upcoming candidate for spintronic applications, which bridge semiconductors and half-metallic materials (HMMs). In general, one of the spin directions is semiconducting while the other has a zero band gap. Until now, the concrete theory...
