摘要
Nonquasiparticle states above the Fermi energy are studied by first-principle dynamical mean field calculations for a prototype half-metallic ferromagnet NiMnSb. We present a quantitative evaluation of the spectral weight of this characteristic feature and discuss the possible experimental investigation (Bremsstrahlung isohromat spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning tunneling microscopy, and Andreev reflection) to clarify the existence of these states.
